--- Comment #7 from Sebas <djse...@home.nl> ---
Seems like I forgot to answer to Maik Qualmann's last reply.

I did fix the issue manually so it is a bit hard for me to recall the whole
thing, but let's try.

Digikam saves individually in image metadata (if enabled) these things:
1. Tags
2. Tagtree

I removed some tags and added new ones, or maybe renamed something. Then, after
rescanning (because of some 'Collection disappearing if network share
unavailable' bug) the old tagtree keeps appearing again and again.

What I found when opening these images in a text editor is that when removing
tags, Digikam does not (always?) also remove that tagtree from custom metadata.
It should do so when the tagtree ceases to exist. Maybe a check for this is not
coded.

Steve Franks, I am not sure it is exactly the same problem. I don't know how
Digikam will try to build a tagtree from tags set by other programs. Obviously
those programs will not save the tagtree to custom metadata as Digikam does and
if they save the tagtree to metadata at all, I have no idea if Digikam can read
other tagtree metadata than its own.
