            Bug ID: 331864
           Summary: Suggestion: Merge Tags with same name when moving to
                    same hierarchy level
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.0.0-beta3
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: anna at rtimm.de

When the user tries do drag and drop a tag into a hierarchy level where a tag
with the same name already exists, he will get an error message. Combining them
would be more useful.
Or in other words: Adding the existing tag to all images that had the dragged
tag and delete the dragged tag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. User wants to combine two tags with the same name from different hierarchy
places.
2. Drag and drop one onto the hierarchy parent of the other.
Actual Results:  
Error message "Tag with name already exists. Please rename".

Expected Results:  
Message "Tag with same name already exists. Merge them? OK | Cancel"

Windows Photo Gallery does it like this, for example. And it's a fine and fast
way to sort a tag library when the imported images have tags from other users
all over the place. Or to simply clean and condense a tag hierarchy that has
grown a bit too specific (with renaming tags to the SAME name and then dropping
them under the same parent).

Steps to merge tags right now: Show all images with the tag that you want to
delete. Select all and assign the other tag that is in the correct place.
Delete the obsolete tag.
And this is a lot of clicks to do.
