Description Johannes Zarl-Zierl 2020-07-07 21:15:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
When removing a token via "Edit -> Remove Tokens...", it is no longer in the list of tokens shown in the annotation dialog.

As a workaround, one can manually add the token via the dialog, but that is not very intuitive. Another workaround would be to exit KPhotoAlbum and restart it (which recreates the tokens category). A better behavior for KPhotoAlbum would be to keep the token instead of removing it completely from the database.
Comment 1 Gustavo Zamorano 2020-07-07 21:40:55 UTC 
The solutions I found out  is:

Tag some pictures with  letter "G"

Select pictures by token :   HOME,   Tokens,  Letter G
Select all ( Ctrl A)
Annotate multiple pictures ( Ctrl 2)  and add or delete tags and then,
on the token tag list: show only selected,   unselect "G"
Done
Then, I can reuse token G.

Only remove tokens from images, but not the database

After removing tokens from all images via "Edit|Remove tokens...", they
are no longer available via the ListSelect in the annotation dialog.
Re-adding the token to the tokens category after removing it makes sure
that if remains selectable in the annotation dialog.
