           Summary: DigiKam: some Mac computers are unable to export any
                    Tag data (under TagList column for Exif). All other
                    metadata seems to transfer just fine. Instead the
                    column appears as "Warning" and in the field: [minor]
                    Unrecognized MakerNotes.

On a few of my students Mac computers we are unable to get any Tag data (under
TagList column for Exif) exported. All other exif data seems to transfer just
fine. Instead the column appears as "Warning" and in the field: [minor]
Unrecognized MakerNotes. I assume that is the broken TagList. Students tag
thousands of photos as part of a class project so a few computers unable to
share their results is a serious issue for analyzing our photos. A positive
short term solution is if we could batch copy the Tag metadata into another
field such as comments or other similar text field, but we don't know how to
get Digikam to do that. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Unknown how to reproduce as it seems to work on some Macs and not on
others. 
2.  Students have followed the same procedure for downloading and installing
Digikam. Tag data appears in Digikam but not in exported photos. 
3.  Not an issue on windows operating systems. Suspect an error formatting
tags.
