Research direction

Start with the Lua script named delete_unused_tags and review PR 8270 to understand how converted hierarchical tags are represented. Update the script so non-attached tags in the path of an attached tag are retained, then verify that unused tags outside such paths are still deleted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

With PR 8270 you can convert nodes of hierarchical tags to new tags.
As no images are attached to this new tag directly, the lua script delete_unused_tags would delete this tag again.

I would like to adapt the lua-script so that non attached tags in the path of an attached one are not deleted

Is it ok to edit the existing script?
