https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users Geoff: I checked the Settings for Metdata and I had that switch set on. I
then did a single photo using save as and changed the extension to .png and
it has worked fine. The batch convert capability either drops the tags or
fails with a message that ImageMagick convert has stopped abnormally. I guess
for now I'll just do the occasional one by the save as and wait for a Kubuntu
version for KDE4. Thanks for the tips, they are at least a partial solution.
