[digiKam-users] Digikam keeps ignoring my ignored tags

One more thing: If the virtual tag "ignored" does nothing, why is it there?

I mean, this seems to be something that is handled in a certain way by DK
differently from the other tags.
For example, it has different types of actions in DK as can be seen from
this screenshot:

If this is not a special tag with a special meaning that DK should ignore
it, why does it exist at all?

I am sorry if I misunderstood your original reply.
