<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I'm experiencing a Filter problem. It appears Digikam is somehow selecting items I didn't select. It occurs in 9 of my 63 Year Albums and Tags. Here is a description of behavior as brief as I can make it.
Sorry it is so detailed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have albums (directories) by years. I created a Event tag tree for each year. My tag tree looks like this...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My problem is when I attempt to identify photos in a year that are NOT assigned to a specific event. I tag these photos as "Not Currently In Event" so I can then see my "excess" photos that could be parsed
to events later. In that way, I have tagged ALL my photos for that year into an "Event" of "Non-Event".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Here is process to do this which works for most of my tag trees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Select an Album for a year, which is found under Tag > Year, a higher level and different part of my tag structure than the Events subtag section. (see
“Step 1.jpg”).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="3" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Select all filtered photos using Ctrl-A. (see “Step 3jpg”)<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="4" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Select the year tag box at top of the Events tag tree shown above. The non-event photos show as well. Ideally, all photos for that year appear with
only the photos which are assigned to an Event highlighted. (see “Step 4.jpg” for this 2004 malfunction year).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">THIS IS WHERE THE PROCESS GOES WRONG FOR 9 OF MY YEAR TAG TREES. For my 2004 Events tag tree, I selected 1014 (see "Step 3.jpg). 2004 in total had 1108 photos (see Step 1.jpg). When I click 2004 to try
as see the Non-Event photos as well, Digikam indicates that 1104 of 1108 photos are not selected (see “Step 4.jpg)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">DIGIKAM SELECTED AN ADDED 90 PHOTOS, which includes 90 of the 94 Non-Event photos. Therefore, I am unable to isolate the Non-Event photos in these 9 seemingly malfunctioning tag trees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For my other Year Event trees, I would proceed with these next steps to identify the Non-Event photos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
