Metadata not written to pictures with previous database

[Abel Matser]

Dear all,

I started using Digikam on a previous version of Windows, where I loved it. I used it to tag and rate hundreds of pictures with ease.

However, once I reinstalled Windows, I found out the metadata was not written to the pictures (I guess "lazy synchronization" was enabled). How do I get it back? I have access to previous database backups of my digikam (digikam4.db recognition.db and thumbnails-digikam.db)

I have reinstalled Digikam already and have tagged some other pictures already, so it would be ideal to not lose those tags either.

Thanks so much.

Regards,

Does anyone have a clue how to get the ratings and tags from an old database?
