SUMMARY digiKam version: 7.9; Database: mySql I currently have 600 tags in my collection. I tried to add them all in one photo. In the settings "Metadata -- Write This Information to the Metadata" is enabled (Image tags and Captions and Title). digiKam performed the mysql database operation correctly, but did not change the metadata of the image (nothing has been added to the image metadata, the image did not include the tags). digiKam did not warn me that the metadata was not written, and the digikam did not reveal that a maximum of 250 tags is possible! Why was this necessary? I wanted to share tags with another user using an image, but unfortunately, I have no other idea how to transfer tags to another user's database :-( .
There is no limit of 250 tags. It is possible that you have exceeded the maximum possible size of the Exif segment (64k) and have aborted Exiv2. But without a DebugView log, we won't know. Configure digiKam to only write XMP metadata and try again. Maik

"Configure digiKam to only write XMP metadata and try again." Thanks Maik. This suggestion solved the problem. Work perfectly. This helped me: https://userbase.kde.org/Digikam/Tutorials/Setup_of_digiKam_for_Windows_compatibility Regards Peter
