When creating a new version of an image, the rating etc. is copied over from the original one. The tags however, are not. It would make more sense if they would, since after applying a simple transformation (contrast, rotation) it is currently necessary to re-apply all the tags.
I confirm this dysfunction. Tags are not copied from original to a new version...
Git commit 4918e135ef681e8d2f56cc8a2705d05880914497 by Marcel Wiesweg. Committed on 22/04/2012 at 18:53. Pushed by mwiesweg into branch 'master'. Consolidate code for copying attributes in CollectionScanner and fix copying of tags. Tags cannot simply be copied at the lowest level: The SQL fails in case tags are already set, but much more important: internal tags such as history tags must not be copied. Use TagsCache and ImageInfo facilities to copy tags properly.
