Hi,

I'm not sure to quite understand how the commit solves the bug.

1) your comment talks about duplicate tags
2) the coment in the commit talks about unsupported UTF-8 in IPTC taht would create trouble if imported into Flickr

As far as I can test:
1) Use FlickrExport to Upload a photo with a keyword IPTC meta-data (say 'test'), and asking Digikam not to export the tags, then your photo is tagged by Flickr with test (so most probably read from IPTC field)
2) Use FlickrExport to upload the same photo, but with applictation tags. You don't get any duplicated tags (tagged only with 'test'
3) Use the Flickr 'basic uploader' web interface to upload a photo with IPTC keywords with non-ASCII characters. The file is uploaded correctly, and the characters are interpreted correctly.
4) Use the 'normal uploader' from Flickr for the same photo. It will fail
5) Use digikam to export the photo (with or without using application tags): it will fail (bad signature)

I guess you choosed to remove IPTC keywords tags each time since:
- if 'use host application tags' is selected, then it is useless extra information
- if disabled, then we don't want it to be uploaded
- if sent and with non-ASCII chars, it will fail anyway

Hope, this will help
