Mockup of 'Remove Tag' option in context menu

> Let me try out the functionality in the information panel.

Works for me in test systems with a small number of tags but it is pretty
unwieldy when you have many hundred tags:

    You have to scroll through a large number of potential tags to find
    the one you want to remove. As this is an "edit" rather than a
    "remove", you are given the full list of tags so you can select as
    well as remove tags.

    It is also possible, although maybe an unusual case, that you have
    tags of the same name at different places in a hierarchical tag
    structure and have to be careful, as you scroll, to pick the correct one. 

Comparing 'Assign Tag' and the 'Edit' in the information panel:

    Can see that these work differently. 'Assign Tags' does a better
    job of showing 'just' the tags that have been selected but it also
    unwieldy unless you have organised your tags so that there are only
    a small number of "top level" tags. 

    'Assign Tags' only appears if you select a single file, so it doesn't
    help if you've assigned the 'wrong' tag to many files and want to
    remove it.... 

When I explore the Dolphin 'context menu' options, I see that there are
'services' that can be added or removed

Maybe the solution is to have a 'Remove Tag' service that can be installed in
parallel with 'Move to Trash' - something like the attached
