            Bug ID: 301488
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.6.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: [hidden email]
           Summary: tool to remove empty image labels (tags)
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: [hidden email]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Labels
           Product: digikam

after importing a whole bunch of files which are poorly tagged or after I have
accidently mistyped a tag while adding it I end up with a lot of tags that
simply aren't necessary and deleting them one by one is slow and painful.

I would like a tool that could remove any tag that has no images attached to
it.

Reproducible: Always

Looks like a good task for command line metadata editors

Agree, it's a low level maintenance feature...

Look to ExifTool or Exiv2 command line tools to manage metadata in batch...

These command line tools will work with the digikam database files?

I see you are referring to tags inside digikam's db in this case. Still seems
to be a very special case. Something like this should be solved by scripting,
unfortunately our scripting interface is underdeveloped.

an alternate solution to the problem might be a mechanism for merging tags.
