Description Andrius 2017-01-17 15:38:40 UTC 
Hello,

I have noticed that actual keywords written to files' metadata might be different for the same tag in Digikam. For example, I have "zoo" tag in "Places". When I search images by the tag in the left panel both IMGP5985.JPG and IMGP5986.JPG show up in the search results.
However if you compare the actual keywords using Digikam (Ctrl+Shift+M)or ExifTool (see the output below) you will notice that one file has "zoo" written while the other has "Places/zoo" (compare fields [XMP-dc] and [IPTC]. 

Digikam seems to treat them as the same tag so I can't really change it now.
I am wondering if there is a way to fix that.
Please advise.

PS I think it might be related to this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320185 since I have used WLPG (Windows Live Photo Gallery) in parallel with Digikam.
