Ask me how ;-)

If it was mentioned before, sorry for that, but I just discovered a nice "feature": if the tag is removed from the image there's no check if that's the last image tagged with it. Contrary to necessity of tagging at least one image for new tags to be retained, that technique allows empty tags to stay.

Marcin, As I remember, there was not always need to assign new tags immediately to keep them alive.
Even now I can create emty tag this way:
- new tag created (without assigning to any photo)
- immediately use it as gallery filter (empty result)
- tag persists!

For me, it makes a sense to create system of tag(s) in one session and use them later.

I think this rule "use new tag immediately" is pure technical limit (or bug). Common programmers practice is: "Documented bug becomes a feature".

I am not sure, if your tip is: "allways clean unused tags".
But my tip is: "make creation of new tag less tricky". 8)

...and wait... I made a test, and now I created new persistent tag even the easiest way. Simply created new one. Perhaps the bug is removed.

Yeah, I checked and it must have been, just few days ago I would still loose unassigned tags.
