Tags and everything related to them

[David Golden]

I started my metadata tagging manually, using exiftool, before starting with digikam, and I'm running into issues.  Is there a reference for exactly how digikam translates existing metadata and what it destroys in the process?  For example,  digikam is destroying my location references for my photos.  I tag photos as follows:

 exiftool -Location="Local Fire Department" -Sub-location="1234 Any Street" -City="Hometown" -State="State" -Country="USA"

When I look at digikam, it's replaced the location with sub-location, and has no sublocation tag.  So I wind up with

   1234 Any Street, Hometown, State, USA

losing the description of the location.
