I had a lot of nestled tags. I would like an easy way to
create them all via import or something like that.<br>> <br>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> *From:* Julien Narboux <<a ymailto="mailto:jnarboux@narboux.fr" href="mailto:jnarboux@narboux.fr">jnarboux@narboux.fr</a>><br>> *To:* Adam <<a ymailto="mailto:adam@akpetty.com" href="mailto:adam@akpetty.com">adam@akpetty.com</a>>; digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <<a ymailto="mailto:digikam-users@kde.org" href="mailto:digikam-users@kde.org">digikam-users@kde.org</a>><br>> *Sent:* Wed, November 11, 2009 12:20:47 PM<br>> *Subject:* Re: [Digikam-users] Newbie Q's<br>> <br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> I am using DigiKam with >91000 photos without any efficiency problem.<br>> So the speed issue should not be related to the number of pictures in the database.<br>> It may be related to another factor.<br>> How many tags ?
