Import images and clearing tags

[Sven Flossmann-2]

Hi,

from time to time it happens that I import pictures from others which
have already Tags assigned.

Is there a way o import these pictures and clear the Tags on that pictures?

If this images are just copied, than I get the Tags from the other which
does not really fit to my Tag-Hierarchy.

Thanks,
Sven

Not sure if DigiKam can do that, but you can give exivtool a try
removing unwanted tags

I know that problem. It would help a little bit, if digikam could join
one specific tag to another, applying this to all affected photos
(xmp). Often dk would not remove the old hierarchy from xmp, if
exactly the same tag was used for the old and new tag at a different
place in the hierarchy.

Additional dk schould be able to remember the joins of tags for the
next time of import of photos with the same unwanted tag hierarchy and
automatically correct the tag hierarchy in xmp.

You can use exiftool to remove specific metadata in photos. The trick is to know what metadata fields to clear. You can use gThumb og Geeqie to view metadata and locate the entries containing tags you want to remove. For example, some tags are stored in the Tags List field of XMP metadata. To clear this field, switch to the directory containing photos, and run the following command:

exiftool -xmp:TagsList= *.jpg


Another solution is to use digiKam. Select the photo you want and choose Image -> Metadata -> Edit All Metadata. Switch to the IPTC -> Keywords section and remove the existing tags. Do the same in the XMP -> Keywords section. I haven't tried this techniques myself, so I don't know whether it actually works.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Dmitri
