            Bug ID: 311973

           Summary: Extra commas in IPTC keywords should be trimmed,
                    otherwise messes up naming
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: joseph.2011 at reagle.org
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Metadata
           Product: digikam

Hi, I've noticed in using Digikam I ended up with e.g. Keywords=", test" (in
the IPTC metadata tab, but nothing in the tag edit itself). This appears as an
empty keyword in other applications and (more importantly) interferes with my
naming system (wherein keywords are separated by a hyphen) because I end up
with files with '--' in them (null value between the hyphens).

Digikam should trim extra commas / empty keywords.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Somehow end up with extra comma -- perhaps this can be done on purpose.
2. Look at IPTC metadata
3. Try a rename mask like this and see extra hyphens:
[date:dd-hmm]-[meta:Iptc.Application2.Keywords]{replace:", ","-",i}{lower}
Actual Results:  
extra commas -- and hyphens in rename

Expected Results:  
trimmed commas (no empty keywords)
