using assign tags in BQM

exiftool 12.89 is installed and  "delegate to exiftool backend ..." and 
"write metadata to DNG file"  are already set
is that enough?

Now I'm not sure I will use it on raw files as it will conduct to 
duplicate them (generate a new version of the Raw with the auto tags) 
that will consum lots of space
May be in a future release you could study a way to assign auto tags to 
the original raw file , either during import steps or another tool
