> _Nobody_ will use Tags hierarchies... Really ???

Almost no non-geek user, yes. Perhaps a few geeks will, but it won't be long before they give up because it's basically boring grunt work, and the current state of the technology has already proven it's pointless. Who wants to maintain tags for thousands of photos ? And a hierarchy makes it even more fragile, suppose I decide I need to change it, how will digikam cope with that ? Will I have to re-tag all my pictures ? It's a huge can of worms.

Sorry, I really think this tagging scheme is a waste of your time. As you say, yes, I certainly won't use it (especially if there's a free-form tagging like with flickr - please don't force me to 'create tags', let me just type words in a lineedit).
