I am probably not the first person to write this, but i do not understand the value of nested tags. Tags were introduced to get rid of nesting. Instead the nesting should be generated on the fly. So i start with one tag and and tags that appear together with this tag will be "sub"-tags in this case.

Also, freestyle tagging a la flickr and delicious would be a great feature. To handle the tag display with its nesting is quite annoying. If there would be a text entry field under each picture it would already be enough.

Anyway, very useful program!
