--- Comment #6 from Steve Franks <steve...@gmail.com> ---
I think that I have the same problem. When I created a new database using
6.0.0-beta3 it read metadata from my images written by Microsoft Live Photo
Gallery, Adobe Photoshop Elements and various other software over the years.

This has led to multiple copies of tags. e.g. Places|East Kent|Deal (Where |
denotes a level in the hierarchy) can be added to the database in any of
several different ways:
Places
East Kent
Deal
Places.East Kent.Deal
Places.East Kent
East Kent.Deal
and sometimes correctly (:-
I have spent several hours removing incorrect tags, merging tags and sorting
out this mess.
The problem is that if Digikam re-reads the metadata from images all my hard
work is undone.
It would be nice if there was a way to tell Digikam to ignore files when
rereading data. I think that it's probably too difficult (dangerous?) to expect
it to remove everything, but its own tags.
