Ohh I see - so that's literally directly viewing the metadata in the file, not
in the catalog (and the catalog only stores a more generalized subset of meta -
not knowing that "tags" came from XP specifically).

Gotcha, great! So no settings changes needed.

Yeah, I mean I wouldn't use it myself. But since one doesn't have control over
what others might have done to photos before they were received, I just wanted
to make sure it was possible to reliably work with tags, more generally, even
if someone else has already used XP tags.  Sounds like this fix now does it :)

Sorry, quick semi-related question: I'm using v8.0.0 (per our other discussion
related to sharing the db between win+linux), but it looks like the weekly
builds are for 7.10, not 8.0 (https://files.kde.org/digikam/). Is there
somewhere with weekly builds for 8.0, that contain all the latest patches?
