Description Brian Gunney 2006-12-20 07:18:10 UTC 
Version:           0.9.0-beta3 (using KDE 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 (4.0))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-3-686

If you have tag/ratings data in an item in your digikam photo, and you move the item from one folder to another (both folders are under digikam "My Albums"), the item appears in the destination folder without tag/ratings data.  And there seems to be no way to recover the data.

This is a bug because digikam should let you organize your photos, and moving photos from folder to folder is fundamental to organizing.  The loss of data in the process is intollerable.

This behavior can be demonstrated with just 2 folders and moving images between them.

You use beta3. Please try to use 0.9.0 - final release before to claim something.
