            Bug ID: 348105
           Summary: Delete all unused tags
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.4.0
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: px79 at crazymonkeys.de

If your friends send images to you, which they have tagged, those "friend-tags"
are imported with the image into digikam. Often, you use different tags as your
friends, so you remove all those "friend-tags" from the images, you have just
imported. (See bug #348104)
After this remove-action, you end up with a tag tree containing those
"friend-tags", which are no longer assigned to a single image.

If you want to get rid of these obsolete tags, too, with digikam 4.4.0, I have
to "walk" through the whole tag tree myself and press "Delete" + "Yes" on every
single tag, which shows the use counter "(0)" after its name. (A very boring
task.)

In this case, it would be very handy, if "Tags Manager" would provide a
function as: "Delete all unused tags".
This function would collect all tags, which
   - are not assigned to an image
   - and have no child-tags (or only unused child-tags)
This list would be presented to the user:
  "Do you really want to delete the following tags?
     - sample tag 1
     - sample tag 2
     - ..."
So the user can delete all those no longer needed tags with a few clicks.
(Leave the boring work to the computer ;)

Reproducible: Always
