Thank you for your prompt consideration in this matter.  I'll check out that
dev snapshot and report back.
Yes, I immediately noticed the terminal `.` which brings up the question:
If the tag is e.g., `T.E.S.T.T.A.G.`, does one use `T.E.S.T.T.A.G..`?

I also want to share what Claude came up with as another workaround in the
event that someone else finds this down the road...  This is less preferable in
what I'm trying to do to sanitize tags than the normal work flow, but maybe
someone will find it useful:

So to remove tags looping through a directory:

```
for i in *.mp3; do
  kid3-cli -c "execute @qml /cache/remove_frame.qml '$i'" "$i"
done
```

```
import Kid3 1.1

Kid3Script {
  onRun: {
    var target = "T.E.S.T.T.A.G"

    function doWork() {
      var model = app.tag(Frame.Tag_2).frameModel
      var found = -1
      for (var i = 0; i < model.rowCount(); ++i) {
        if (script.getRoleData(model, i, "name") === target) {
          found = i
          break
        }
      }
      if (found !== -1) {
        app.tag(Frame.Tag_2).frameList.selectByRow(found)
        app.tag(Frame.Tag_2).deleteFrame()
        console.log("Removed '" + target + "' from " +
app.selectionInfo.filePath)
      } else {
        console.log("Not found: '" + target + "' in " +
app.selectionInfo.filePath)
      }

      if (!nextFile()) {
        app.saveDirectory()
        Qt.quit()
      } else {
        setTimeout(doWork, 1)
      }
    }

    initFiles(getArguments())
    firstFile()
    doWork()
  }
}
```
