Could we *please* validate tags at import by ensuring that the first element of a tag is a character and not numeric?
This wouls avoid garbage being imported into the data base..

Thank you;

the problem with 'bad' tags appears to have resurfaced in the recent version.

Some of my very old images (mainly tiff format and probably originating in Digikam) show up in dt with massive tags that totally bogs down my system. Attached is an example of one tag that is so large that I am unable to even get to the delete button on the window.

This problem was totally solved for some time but dt now appears to be reading the meta-data in a different way. The problem shows-up on my system when I do a full system reinstall and need to reread all of my images.

With difficulty, I can try to individually delete these tags but I think there must be a better way.
