By labels you mean "comments"? Primarily in database and there is option to
store it as EXIF/IPTC/XMP comment field.

No, i'm talking about label. Labels can be put by right click and selecting "create label" (or it is a "tag"? - I use a localized version).

I try to put label (tag?) to image and made his copy - new file does not contain a label, so it stored not within file, but in digikam database. Where this database stored?

For me it copies with tags (and comments and rationgs). Which version of
digiKam are you using?

I use a debian (lenny) repo:

Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10
digiKam: 0.9.4

Very old version. Don't remember if that was normal behavior - but I suspect
it was.

Tags are stored in an internal digikam database by default. Depending on your
configuration settings, they can additionally be stored as metadata inside the
image. I don't have digikam 0.9.x available anymore, but look in the
preferences for options regarding EXIF and IPTC. There are checkboxes there
that will allow you to store tags, comments and ratings with the image or not
(as Exif or IPTC keywords).

This will only work though for certain image formats. I know jpg works and tif
doesn't for me. Which image types digikam can store metadata in, depends on
the version of libexiv2 on your system. This is the library that handles the
metadata insided your images. My current version of this library is 17.1. The
most recent version is 18.1.

For reference, http://dev.exiv2.org/wiki/exiv2/Supported_image_formats
shows a list of supported image formats with the latest version if libexiv2.

Regards,

Geert
