           Summary: automatic subtag search while tagging
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chrkde at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

At the moment, when searching for tags in the first tag input box in the image
description tab, only the topmost level of the tag hierarchy is searched. For
example, assume that the following tags exist in the database (and of course
many other tags):

/nature/stone
/nature/river
/people/peter

If you want to add the tag "peter", you have to enter "/people/peter" in the
input box. Searching for "peter" is of course possible in the input box at the
bottom of the tab, but you then need an additional click on the tag to apply
it.
Imagine that hundreds of tags and several levels in the hierarchy are not too
uncommon.

It would be great if you could simply enter "peter" in the first tag input box
and then select the correct tag from a dropdown list. If the tag is not found,
it is simply created. This also helps in not recreating the same tag several
times at different places of the tag tree: Since the tag database is always
searched when you create a new tag, you immediately see if the tag already
exists.
