Hi,

is there a solution for this bug in Beta 6?

When changing an exisiting tag, digikam should apply these changes to
all files.

Problem - I dropped the database and let dk do a whole rescan of my one
hundred thousand pictures. Now I am having hundred of tags twice or
triple (I reorganize them sometimes) and I have to correct this manually:
1. Select all pictures with the wrong tag on the left side
2. deselect the wrong tag, select the correct tag on the right side
3. delete the wrong tag
4. wait ages.
This is going to take weeks, because deleting (or creating) a tag takes
about 5 Minutes. (MySQL on a NAS, 1GBit/s) Moving a tag is fast.

suggestions?

Ben
