            Bug ID: 375187
           Summary: Keywords under same tag in digikam do not match
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

I have noticed that actual keywords written to files' metadata might be
different for the same tag in Digikam. For example, I have "zoo" tag in
"Places". When I search images by the tag in the left panel both IMGP5985.JPG
and IMGP5986.JPG show up in the search results.
However if you compare the actual keywords using Digikam (Ctrl+Shift+M)or
ExifTool (see the output below) you will notice that one file has "zoo" written
while the other has "Places/zoo" (compare fields [XMP-dc] and [IPTC]. 

Digikam seems to treat them as the same tag so I can't really change it now.
I am wondering if there is a way to fix that.
Please advise.

PS I think it might be related to this:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320185 since I have used WLPG (Windows
Live Photo Gallery) in parallel with Digikam.
