Well, it is a bit to early for some cool screenshots but I hope I will have a 
working example this week.
The main problem with the Comment and Tag editor of digikam is, that it takes 
quite a long time to select the necessary tags for an image. In the KimDaBa 
Tag editor you can do everything with the keyboard and it supports tag lists 
which shows the last used tags on top. This enables a very fast and efficient 
tagging. 
However to use this feature in Digikam one would have to adopt the concept to 
the hierarchical tags used in Digikam.
