Ok, its great. I really love it, this patch gives the fun in tagging back to 
digikam. I hope it will make it into the official releases somehow, if not i 
will apply it to every digikam i compile myself. But there are 2 things:

1. I have the following Tags-Structur

/people/anja
/people/anjas-friends
/peopla/anjas-friends/Tom
/people/anjas-friends/Peter

When i tag an image with Tom, and the next image is Anja herself, and i enter 
Anja in the searchbox, i get to Tom. Maybe you should sort images after 
Tag-Levels first, then after lastused. So all Tags with the matchin 
Expression in the last tag are displayed first, in this case, 
/people/anja
/people/anjas-friends
would be displayed, because anja is in the last Tagname, but anja would be 
first, since its lastused is closer.

Dont know if its possible to alter the autocomplete that much, but it would be 
great, right now i renamed /people/anjas-friends to /people/an-jas-friends, 
which is a little sucky ;)


2. New Tag Generation
If i enter Paul in the searchbox, and there is no match, and i press enter 
paul appears as a tag in the list. But the tag is not created, and thus not 
applied to the image.
Errormessage:
digikam: ERROR: won't create tag without leading slash
digikam: Dirty: /
                                    
When i enter /paul it works, so if you press enter on a non-matching tag the 
tag should be created as root-tag.


3. It would be really cool, if the fields and especially the preview would be 
resizable, the thumbnail is too small to tag images sometimes.  Thats 
actually the most important problem, but as far as i read here, its not so 
easy to change in normal Tag-editing window, so it might be hard to change 
here too :(

But thanx for the great work so far :)
