SUMMARY
Tags no longer displayed after 24h uptime. Possible data loss?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Start digiKam. Let it run for a longer time (a day should be sufficient).

OBSERVED RESULT
Album is displayed correctly (thumbs and full size images). However, no tags are displayed.

Initially, I feared that when assigning a "new" tag in that condition all "older" tags would be overwritten.  I checked that for one image and assigned a new tag. That was displayed in digiKam. After committing it, it was correctly written to the file (appended, i.e. it didn't overwrite the "old" tags).
Since I feared data loss, I stopped experimenting. Stopped digiKam and started it again. All tags intact. Behavior back to normal.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Behaviour occured on two different machines (both with Windows 11, MariaDB  11.6.2) and fairly large image collections (> 400 k images, 20.000 tags).
