I just tried the new tag creation  dialog. Tag creation is really nice now. I 
have however one comments for this new feature:

- When creating new tags I am unsure if autocompletion in the last stage of 
the tagname (i.e. the last existing child, a leaf) is really useful. This 
would only be the case if a new tag or the root of a new hierarchy would in 
many cases be based on an existing tag name. So this would be only then be 
helpful if you want to create tags like  /parent/blue and 
then   /parent/bluewater, /parent/bluesea/fish. I think in most cases you 
want to create tags 
like /parent/red, /parent/green, /parent/water, /parent/sky. In these cases 
the leaf-autocompletion is puzzling the user because I do not search a tag 
but want to enter a new one but the system gives me a "proposal":  If I have 
a minimal hierarchy like "/parent/a" and then want to enter a new 
tag "/parent/b". If I just type "/parent/" then autocompletion shows 
me "/parent/a" which is the point I found confusing. I know I can simply go 
on typing but the point is if autocompletion really does make sense here.

Please note: Whereever I search photos having certing tags leaf-autocompletion 
is of course very useful. However when entering a new tag I think a leaf in 
the tag hierarchy tree like described above should not be shown by 
autocompletion.
