If you use the Album>Write Metadata to Files command, it will do so. (I just tested adding a Face Tag to a photo. In Settings>Configure>Metadata, I also checked the box next to Face Tags under Write This Information to the Metadata. This latter action didn't seem to be enough by itself.)

Ah, sorry: I was talking about Google Photos, not Digikam. I haven't played with Digikam's metadata handling much, so thanks for that tip.

Oops -- my apologies; I wasn't correctly following the discussion.
