When using the left panel 'Enter tag here.' field to create a non-existing tag on multiple selected images, the following error dialog box happens: |Tag creation Error |An error occurred during tag creation: |Tag Path Error |Earth2 Tag name already exists And then the following apply dialog box: |Apply changes? |You have edited the metadata of XX images: |-caption |-tags |Do you want to apply your changes? |Always apply changes without confirmation The second error (Apply changes) happens when one or more images are selected. The first (Tag creation Error) and second (Apply changes) errors both happen when more than one image is selected. It seems when multiple images are selected during tag creation, the tag is trying to be created for each individual file instead of created for the first and selected for the rest. It seems there may be two separate issues here, the 'Tag creation Error' issue and the 'Apply changes' issue. If selecting a pre-existing tag does not cause the apply changes dialog box, then creating a new tag should not cause the apply changes dialog box either.
This happens on both Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 x64.

Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. fix double signal from the AddTagsLineEdit M +10 -2 libs/tags/addtagslineedit.cpp https://commits.kde.org/digikam/e23e4693169bf406e950e66d2377dee84a3ae866
I think you mean the right sidebar and not the left one? I could only see a double error box when an existing tag was created from the completer. The other problems I can not reproduce, possibly they are related to the double signal. Maik
Tested again with the AppImage, yes the bug is now fixed. I close this bug now. Maik
Sorry, I missed this one. Yes, I did mean the right-panel, not the left. When creating a new tag this way, is it intentional to force apply tags at the same time?

Whether tags should be force applied is debatable but since both ways have their advantages I would vote for leaving it the way it is. Note that the appearance of the confirmation dialog depends on your settings in Configure digiKam/Miscellaneous/"Do not confirm when applying changes in the right sidebar" (Wording could be better perhaps, at least I have to think twice ;-)).
