[Digikam-users] How to remove "left behind" tag tree

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

Thanks for your comment, Jean-François.

I think it NEEDS to be fixed.
Otherwise, even if one cleans the mess one day and begin again from
scratch, he's stuck to keep the same tags structure forever; or, he will
move/add something and begin another mess!

Who is completely sure the tags structure he (intends to) uses just now
will be the same he wants in some future. Not me, for sure...
