           Summary: Tagging interface functionality lost
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kdebugs at morydd.net


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In previous versions of Digikam the process I used for tagging was as follows:
Select image(s) -> Click in "Enter new tag here..." text box -> type tag -> if
tag existed in DB, auto-complete suggestions appeared as I typed. When the tag
I wished to use was displayed (in the case of a tag not in the DB, when I
finished typing the word) I hit enter and then typed the next tag for the
image. This allowed me to add several tags to a given image quickly and easily.

Now, it seems that the only way to enter tags is as follows:
Select image(s) -> Click in "Search" box -> type tag -> if tag exists in DB,
auto-complete functions as before and I can select the tag -> remove hand from
keyboard and move to mouse to click on the check box for the tag -> click in
search box and delete previous search -> type in next tag -> if tag does not
exist in DB, I then have to click in the "Enter new tag" box, and type the same
word a second time.->mouse->click->mouse to "search box"->repeat.

This is a much, much less organic process, and is a major loss of
functionality, as it takes as much as three times as long to add tags to an
image. I'm not sure why this behavior was changed.
