--- Comment #20 from Steve Franks <steve...@gmail.com> --- Thank you, may I apologise for bothering you with this. I don't think this is a bug, I believe that the main issue was that I hadn't deselected obsolete software's tag data in advanced settings (Acdsee, Microsoft etc.). I specified that only digikam tags should be read. Setting the option to write to xmp only, or xmp and item, seems to be the key. If 'write to xmp only for read only items' is chosen, I have the impression xmp sidecars are not read for jpegs. I deleted all keywords using tag manager and reread metadata for every item. None of the obsolete keywords have reappeared, but I now have 60k images without keywords. I think that the processes must have overlapped. i.e. Deleting Keywords whilst rescanning metadata. I shall try again when I have time. It's an old PC, which takes several hours to rescan so may images and is currently rebuilding fingerprints to allow me to check for duplicates.
