[digikam] [Bug 331864] New: Suggestion: Merge Tags with same name when moving to same hierarchy level

            Bug ID: 331864
           Summary: Suggestion: Merge Tags with same name when moving to
                    same hierarchy level
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.0.0-beta3
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

When the user tries do drag and drop a tag into a hierarchy level where a tag
with the same name already exists, he will get an error message. Combining them
would be more useful.
Or in other words: Adding the existing tag to all images that had the dragged
tag and delete the dragged tag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. User wants to combine two tags with the same name from different hierarchy
places.
2. Drag and drop one onto the hierarchy parent of the other.
Actual Results:  
Error message "Tag with name already exists. Please rename".

Expected Results:  
Message "Tag with same name already exists. Merge them? OK | Cancel"

Windows Photo Gallery does it like this, for example. And it's a fine and fast
way to sort a tag library when the imported images have tags from other users
all over the place. Or to simply clean and condense a tag hierarchy that has
grown a bit too specific (with renaming tags to the SAME name and then dropping
them under the same parent).

Steps to merge tags right now: Show all images with the tag that you want to
delete. Select all and assign the other tag that is in the correct place.
Delete the obsolete tag.
And this is a lot of clicks to do.

--- Comment #1 from Dan O. <[hidden email]> ---
While assigning the duplicate tag to all images currently tagged with a
duplicate tag and then deleting the duplicate is a viable solution for regular
tags, it is not an effective work-around for face tags.

If you assign all the images with a face tag of an individual to another, it
simply adds a standard tag, it does not alter the face tag as each face tag is
only given one name.  Having duplicate face tags effectively means you must
remove one entire selection of face tags, and re-run the face tagging
operation, effectively repeating all of the work involved in face tagging.

While I can change an individual face tag, I cannot do so for an entire
selection.  Changing 100+ face tags individually isn't a practical solution.

I'm in agreement with Dan O. A method of combining facial tags is needed,
because the alternative is many hours of manual work (in many cases). Playing
around with the digikam database, it appears this could be done by replacing
matching the tagid for the tags that are to be merged, and dropping the old tag
information. I haven't tried it, but I think this could be done by externally
modifying the database, but a means to do it in the software would be much
easier.
