Migrating Tags
Kelly Janz
Moving from v1.0.0-rc.5 to v0.1.3 and would like to take my tags along with me. Is there a way to do this? I opened the same folders as before, thinking that the tags would be embeded in the photo files and read by the new version. Alas, not so. Suggestions?
OOPS! CANCEL!
I found the import tags function. I suggest that the software should offer to search for tags automatically when opening a new location. Make it easy on the user.
WRONG!
I saw tags being displayed, but when I looked closer, they were not MY tags. I tried re-importing etc. but so far I have not got my tags back and assigned to the original photos.

Update:
I manually save a backup from PF and then tried to import it to OF. I also manually wrote the tags to the photo files in PF as well. It took several tries of iimporting and reading file tags, but eventually it seemed to work and I have my original tags on the right photos in OF. I could not tell which step or work around finally did the magic, so I have no idea of how to write a bug report on this!
I just hit it with a hammer until it started working!

Kelly Janz: Hello Kelly, sorry all the disruptions. We are undergoing significant changes and understand that this may have caused some inconvenience. We will communicate these changes more in the future.
The bug you mentioned might be due to the fact that when you "write" the tags, it indicates completion, but in reality, it's still loading... very inconvenient.
Your suggestion that the software should automatically search for tags when opening a new location is excellent. It would indeed make the user experience much easier. I will create a ticket for this.
Thank you for your valuable feedback!"
