Let's take a file an tag it with the word "Senegal", then synchronize the images from the database.

Iptc.Application2.Program                    String      7  digiKam
Iptc.Application2.ProgramVersion             String     11  0.9.2-final
Iptc.Application2.Keywords                   String      8  Senegal

Wait - surely I'm going to visit other countries, so let's make a "Place" category and put "Senegal" in it by drag and dropping it there in the "Tag Filters" tree display on the right of the main window.

Iptc.Application2.Program                    String      7  digiKam
Iptc.Application2.ProgramVersion             String     11  0.9.2-final
Iptc.Application2.Keywords                   String      8  Senegal
Iptc.Application2.Keywords                   String     14  Place/Senegal

Ooops. "Place/Senegal" is correct, but "Senegal" has not been deleted.

Maybe this is consistent with Digikam's policy of not harming existing data inside the picture file. But from my point of view this is not what I expected.
