Version 10.14.2. Previously, I used *Aperture* and now am in the process of<br>
using digiKam for my *DAM*. I created a collection of images from Aperture<br>
using the *Aperture Exporter* app. This app exported both image originals<br>
and "versions". Also, the "keywords"(*tags* in digiKam) that I used,<br>
including facial identifications were also exported.<br>
<br>
Now that I have started using digiKam, I have made a hierarchical structure<br>
using tags, e.g. "Family / Brothers / Jesse". This was done by creating<br>
higher level tags (like "Family" and "Brothers") and then moving existing<br>
tags (like "Jesse") to the proper location.<br>
<br>
The problem is that after several times opening digiKam, the old tags<br>
reappear along with the new hierarchy. I have deleted the older tags several<br>
times, but they keep reappearing. Database maintenance options don't seem to<br>
help.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
