Description Fest 2010-04-16 14:30:22 UTC 
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 4.4.2)
Compiler:          gcc-4.4.3 
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Recently i deleted .kde folder. After that nepomuk have no idea about tags already stored inside digikam database. "reread/write metadata to/from image" option not changing that. Only tagging images again helping.
So in spite of that my images already tagged, i have to re-tag them in order to nepomuk see them.

I have this options enabled: Store metadata in Nepomuk, read metadata from Nepomuk.

Digikam stores that it has already done a full sync with Nepomuk. Afterwards, only changes are sync'ed.
Your situation is not common, but with nepomuk still being in a state of flux, something to think of. Maybe a button in setup to trigger a resync.
Comment 2 Fest 2010-04-17 14:50:10 UTC 
It's not a critical issue, cause i still can re-tag photos by selecting existing tags and re-tagging them. But that pretty annoying for big collection with hundred tags.
And since kde (semantic-desktop particularly), still in heavy development with many changes upcoming, it seems good idea to make option(button) to re-sync database. Cause one day this situation (nepomuk database failure, changes or else) could be common.
Thank you in advance.

The idea is to press this button in our Nepomuk setup page once. I hope it works.

Thank you. Works like a charm.

Checked on KDE 4.5.80 and Digikam 1.6
