[digiKam-users] Digikam does not show images by Tag

Some, many, months ago I accidentally formatted my image hard disk. A more than a TB worth.

It took many days of running testdisk / photorec to recover the images.

The recovered images all lost their original names and are now in multiple (100's) of folders named by testdisk.

Since then I have pointed digikam to the recovereed images (On a new Har disk) and am also placing my new images in the same section.

Digikam has picked up the tags that were are in the recovered images, it has also organized them by date (rom exif data).

However while I can browse by date I cannot browse by Tags. I have use the "read tags " from images - and this took a tonne load of time but it generated all th tags (seemingly) but it shows not images in any tag category.

Kindly advice.

My images are on external drive. And I open digikam only after attaching the drive

Current OS and Digika Specs are

Linux Mint 19 (Tara)

Digikam Version 5.6.0

Look forward to you advice

thanks
