Setup digiKam in a Test User (fresh - no historical settings - new database) …

 * Imported the 2026-03-13 directory from the main digiKam user.
 * Setting the tags didn't destroy the Copyright and Artist EXIF tags.

Looks as if, I'll have to purge the ~/.config/ and ~/.local/share/digikam/ and
Database directories of the main digiKam user and then, setup digiKam again
and, reimport the EXIF data from my digital photographs – 18 498 photos in 1
069 date based directories dating back to 2007.
Plus a collection of 743 analogue photos.

It seems that, somewhere along the years of using digiKam on openSUSE Leap and
pre-Leap systems plus, the move to Tumbleweed and SELinux, something has
corrupted the digiKam database and KDE Plasma configuration during all the
operating system upgrades and hardware migrations which have happened over the
years.

The only thing which makes the housekeeping easier is – I've been using a
dedicated user for photographic work – due to earlier usage of Wine to run my
camera's RAW processing tool – therefore, it's not a great pain to simply clean
out that user's .config/ directory and start with a fresh environment.
