Did you try Tag Manager tool from AlbumGUI/Tags menu ?

​As far as I<understand, yes.​


 
After tags tree-view management, you must perform a sync of file metadata
with DB (see Maintenance tool). This can take a while...

I know that color theme rendering depend of widget style used with KDE application. I recommend to use Oxygen (the best). Look in Setup/Miscs for details.

Else color themes are provided by KDE Control Panel. Did you install it. Do you run KDE desktop,

Once in a while, I encounter this problem, too. When friends
send me their tagged fotos, digikam happily imports their
tags (from image XMP), too. Since everybody uses different
tags, this somehow "polutes" my tag tree.

My workflow in those cases:
  1. Go to the album, which contain the newly imported
     pictures from my friend
  2. select all pictures
  3. in the right side view "Captions/Tags" I enable the
     button "[view] Tags already assigned"
  4. uncheck all checkboxes (to remove the tags from the
     fotos)
  5. "Apply"

This removes all tags from the fotos, but the tags remain in
the tag tree.

  6. I go through the left side view "Tags" and delete all
     tags, which are assigned to 0 fotos (the number of
     fotos which have this tag assigned can be seen in
     braces after the tag name (e.g. "Uncle Jon (5)").


Feature requests:

To speed up this process, the following two ideas came to my
mind:


a) "Delete all tags of a foto with one click"

This function could be added in the right side view
"Captions/Tags" as additional action at the "More"-button.
With safety query "Are you sure to remove all tags from the
selected fotos?"
This would speed up step 4.

    -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348104


b) "Delete all unused tags"

In "Tags Manager" -> "Organize" one could add a new function
"Delete all unused tags".
This function would collect all tags, which
    - are not assigned to a foto
    - and have no child-tags (or only unused child-tags)
This list would be presented to the user:
   "Do you really want to delete the following tags?
      - sample tag 1
      - sample tag 2
      - ..."
This would speed up step 6.

    -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348105


Just my thoughts about this topic.

Regards,
        Peter Albrecht
