I can't find any errors with these images.

Let me explain again, and expand at the same time: <br>
- I don't want the "piscine" at the root level, only as a
hierarchical tag<br>
- the tag piscine has 2 "legit" positions:
in Sujets/technique/piscine and in Lieux|France|Charente Maritime|Le
Mung|piscine. <br>
- I did not create the tag "piscine" at root level. dK decided to
create it by itself (but you have explained below how and why this
happens). <br>
- if I select "<span style="white-space: pre-wrap">piscine </span><span
style="white-space: pre-wrap">20200311_092408_vHDR_Auto.jpg</span>
" in the thumbnails view and uncheck the root piscine, dK recreates
it as soon as I click on Apply. Again, I know now why, but I don't
know how to fix it.<br>
<br>
Hmm, BTW, I just copied those 2 paths above from "<span
style="white-space: pre-wrap">piscine 2</span><span
style="white-space: pre-wrap">0200311_092408_vHDR_Auto.jpg", and I notice the difference in separators. I guess this can't be good, but do </span>you
know any method to fix this? I guess that many photos are affected
by this...<br>

Well, the method may be easy, but I am unable to find it. Could you
explain?<br>

It is there. Search for "sange" and you will find it :-) Obviously a
character encoding issue, but here again I don't know what to do
about it. This could be inherited from the photo tagging software I
used before, but I don't have it any more.<br>

For several years now, dK has been my only way of editing tags. The
only other graphical tools I use are Gimp and Hugin (and sometimes
RawTherapee or darktable) and AFAIK none of those know what a tag
is. I never used hierarchical tags before, hierarchical tags were
one of the reasons I chose dK. Currently, dK is set to
Xmp.digiKam.TagsList. Here are my tags settings:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.p4iW2UG3.gXkzo40h@free.fr" alt=""><br>
Does Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject mean LR hierarchical tags? If so,
IIUC, I should uncheck this, correct?<br>

I guess this is the cause of the issue. <br>
<br>
But how should I handle this? Should I ensure there aren't 2
different tags at different places? How can I clean my tags even
assuming I <span style="white-space: pre-wrap">am willing to replace </span>Lieux|France|Charente
Maritime|Le Mung|piscine with Lieux|France|Charente Maritime|Le
Mung|piscine_dv?<br>
<br>
Is there a tool showing which tags are "duplicated"?<br>
<br>
Shouldn't this dK behaviour be enhanced in the future? Imagine a tag
named "garden", there are bound to be many places in a hierarchy
where such a tag would be appropriate. And one would not necessarily
be willing to give a unique name to each "garden", because being
able to pull all the "garden" from all over the hierarchy could be
meaningful.<br>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Hello Maik,
Thank you for looking into this.
Here are 8 examples. I did not touch anything in them since the problem
occured except changing their file names, and I did so after copying
them into a directory outside of dK's scope. So these should exactly
what dK sees.
I included:
- 4 photos with the "piscine" tag, taken with 4 defferent cameras, each
time the "piscine" is duplicated
- 2 photos with a "mésange bleue" tag, one where this itag is duplicated
at the root level, one where there is only one copy of the tag; I did
not do anything recently with those old photos so I don't have any idea
why dK decided to duplicate those tags
- 2 photos with a "macaque à longue queue" tag, one where this itag is
duplicated, one where there is only one copy of the tag; I did not do
anything recently with those old photos so I don't have any idea why dK
decided to duplicate those tags either; here, dK duplicated tag under
"animal" instead of putting the duplicate in the root.
I noticed that the duplicated tags had character set issues (when there
were non-standard characters, of course).
Note that the problem occurs when I select a group of photos and edit
the tags by checking / unchecking the tags in the right pane. AFAICT,
this does not happen when I merge tags using "Tags" in the left pane. I
guess I should refrain from using the right pane to edit tags until this
issue is solved.
