Created attachment 135575 [details] screen dump of extra hierarchy level in tags SUMMARY The tag hierarchy has an extra level that cannot be removed by reassigning the tag. STEPS TO REPRODUCE When the .xmp file for a .mp4 is modified like so: <lr:hierarchicalSubject> <rdf:Bag> <rdf:li>2020|11 Bob</rdf:li> and then "album/reread meta data from files" is used the result is 2020/2020/11 Bob (see attached image for an example). There is an extra level in the tag hierarchy. If I use the Captions/Tags tab to change the tag from 2020/2020/11 Bob to 2020/11 Bob it fails, the tag is left set to 2020/2020/11 Bob. To reproduce copy the attached .xmp file to <any>.mp4.xmp and rescan the directory. OBSERVED RESULT A tag of 2020/2020/11 Bob in the Tags window, and cannot change in the tags manager EXPECTED RESULT 2020/11 Bob SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

I cannot reproduce the problem here. It is created quite normally /2020/11 Bob. Tested here with MySQL, what kind of database do you use? Otherwise, please post the output from the terminal with activated debug mode when a re-read of the metadata is carried out. As described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Furthermore digiKam-6.4.0 is quite old, please try the current AppImage release candidate from digiKam-7.2.0-RC from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik
Created attachment 135579 [details] extra hierarchy level for tag "11 Bob" even on version 7.2.0
Thanks for the quick reply. I installed 7.2.0, and let it reread the metadata. The results are unchanged. The debug log follows. I'm using the default SQlite database. I cannot find the exact issue, but this arose because of the handling between dc:subject and digiKam:TagsList tags in the XMP file. Originally, it was 2010.11 Bob, where '.' was a hierarchy separator, but that got changed to just '11 Bob' for dc:subject, but digiKam:TagsList kept the full form <rdf:li>2020/11 Bob</rdf:li> So, it's a munged XMP file at fault in a way, but still when digiKam reparses the XMP file on reread it should not create something completely broken, which 2020/2020/11 Bob is.

The cause must be different. I cannot reproduce it. What happens if you move "11 Bob" to the top "2020"? If it doesn't work, the tags table is probably damaged. Please then post the messages during the tag move. Maik
Can it be that 2 xmp files exist with you? A BASENAME.xmp file could also be available from which the tag path is read. The order digiKam searches for xmp files is first BASENAME.xmp and then BASENAME.EXT.xmp. Maik
All *xmp files are *.mp4.xmp in the relevant directory, so a duplicate .xmp is not the answer. I unchecked 2020/2020/11 Bob, checked 2020/11 Bob (in the Tags UI), then clicked "apply". The log follows. Your theory there is some problem with the database makes sense as the .XMP seems fine. I imported many files with x.y keywords. Some of the get parsed as x/y, some as x/x.y, and some as x.y (where '/' is the hierarchy separator in digiKam:TagsList). I was able to clean many of these by manually assigning tags. So, things are usually working, but there are several cases, 2020/11 Bob one of them, where I cannot clean them up. I mean that other very similar .XMP files worked, so that only leaves the theory there is something in the database different in this case. It seems odd to me that digiKam should be keeping any of this state when I explicitly request a metadata reread. Something is both munged in the database and not being cleaned out. I'm not willing to share the whole database (as there is a lot of confidential information in there), but I can open it and look at some tables if you tell me where to start on that. For instance, the tags table contains: 1197 22 11 Bob 1199 1191 11 Bob The pid of 22 is 0. The pids for 1191 (in TagsTree) are: 1191 0 1191 22 and 22 in Tags: 22 0 2020 apparently representing 2020/11 Bob and 2020/2020/11 Bob both, but that doesn't explain why I cannot reassign tags.

Ok, there is an easy work around: 1) Create tag "temp" 2) Select all 2020/2020/11 Bob pics from the tag manager and assign them to "temp". 3) Delete 2020/2020/11 Bob and 2020/11 Bob tags completely. 4) Rename temp to 2020/11 Bob I'm still happy to help debug if you care. Also, the original parsing of x.y is tags somehow buggy and I can help drill down on that if you care. Thanks for all of the quick replies.
I came across a similar problem, while working with a large tag hierarchy where the same word is used at different levels. I've been able to reproduce the problem with a clean database and doing these steps: 1. Use the tag manager to create these tags: - "2020/11 Bob" - "2020/2020/11 Bob" See image tag-hierarchy-1.jpg 2. Create a blank test image, with no metadata. Refresh to view the new image in digikam. 3. Select the image and assign "2020" and "2020/11 Bob" to the test image. See attachment tag-hierarchy-2.jpg 4. Click Apply to write the metadata (I have digikam configured to write to XMP sidecars). The XMP file contains: <digiKam:TagsList> <rdf:Seq> <rdf:li>2020</rdf:li> <rdf:li>2020/11 Bob</rdf:li> </rdf:Seq> </digiKam:TagsList> Which looks correct. 5. Click "More"->"Read Metadata from file to database". 6. Observe that "2020/2020" and "2020/2020/Bob" are now erroneously ticked. See attachment tag-hierarchy-3.jpg The fault lies in TagsCache::tagForPath in file core/libs/database/tags/tagscache.cpp. This function doesn't properly handle the case of a path with only one level, and multiple tag paths with the same name. I've been testing a fix, and a pull request will be sent shortly.
