How delete wrongs tags in Exifs ?

[dantou 9]

Hi
I like to use Dgk for it's tags management, so I've a lot of them (more than 60 000).
But I've make many mistake when typing or in hierarchical tags
I correct this but recently notice the wrongs worlds are always in Exifs, IPTC and XMP, coexisting with the new goods.
Who can help me and tell how I can really delete the wrongs tags in Exifs, and not only in the tags viewer ( I manage it) ?

Best regards
Daniel

If I recall correctly this used to be (still is?) a bug in digiKam.

Before you do anything, backup the collection.

Your best bet would be to have a look at exiv2 or exiftool and learn how
to manipulate the metadata.

Then remove all those tags, which include the old (or even the new)
keywords or comments.

If you're using Linux, then some bash scripting would do the trick for
all of your images quite easily. Similarly, you can script in Windows
style "bat" files.

Finally, open the collection in digiKam again, choose all images and
"write metadata to images" again. (If you want that .)

The bug has been fixed in 3.5.0 version. Upgrade to the last version before removing your wrong tags!
