Hello Gruhler,

I started /*"tags make me crazy" 
*/https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2024-December/036805.html, 
so I can explain a little about it.

The key is finding if you don't have homonymous tags, that is: identical 
tags in different places of your tag hierarchy. I am guessing that this 
is indeed the case with you: don't you have several tags named "1"? And 
several tags named "2"? And so on... The bad news is that dK will 
require you to rename all the homonymous tags. If dK finds 2 identically 
named tags at different places in the tag hierarchy, it will duplicate 
those tags at the root level. One sign of this is that the problematic 
tags are both at the root level and at their correct place. In other 
words, if you select any image which has the root "1" tag, you will see 
it has two "1" tags, one at root level and one in the correct place in 
your hierarchy.

dK sometimes copies at the root level tags which don't have homonyms 
themselves but which have homonyms somewhere in their sub-hierarchy. So 
if you have "animal"/"cat"/"x" and "place"/"city"/"x", you will find of 
course that dK copied "x" at the root level, but sometimes find that dK 
copied "cat", or "city", or both too. So if you a misplaced tag does not 
have homonyms, check the tags which are "under" the misplaced tag.

The only solution to this problem is

 1. rename each identical tag so that it is unique (this will ensure
    that dK does not recreate copies at the root level as soon as you
    delete them),
 2. delete the duplicate tags at root level.


If some wrong tags appear at root level again, it means you missed some 
homonyms.

I consider this is a dK bug, but I understand why dK behaves so, and I 
am not quite sure of how it could be solved.

Hope this helps
