Dominik,

All is already implemented in digiKam for KDE4. Nothing is done in KDE3, and
nothing will be done. Let's me explain why:

In KDE4, we support XMP metadata. in XMP, we have declared a digiKam namespace
where we store tags path list, to be able to recreate tags hierarchy inot
database if image is moved to another computer. IPTC still supported but now
IPTC keywords records only tags name, not tags path.

In KDE3, XMP is not supported, only Exif and IPTC. There is no others place in
IPTC, excepted keywords to record tags path. so, we will still use it to be
able to recreate tags hierarchy in database if image is moved.

XMP support will be not backported to KDE3. it require huge changes in the code
and a lots of regression tests. All is already done in KDE4 version. that
all...
