            Bug ID: 326490
           Summary: tag groups: extending single tags to groups
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.5.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: drch at drshornung.de

Motivation:
Currently, tags are organized as "single tag hierarchies". This makes the
tagging of images with multiple tags rather tedious - especially if images are
tagged ("later on")

Example:
An event may be described as a tuple (event_type, organizer, date, location,
topic, participants), whereby each component may be elements in different
branches of the tag hierarchy.
If, later on, additional images are imported which belong to the same event,
all single components have to be tagged again

Proposal:
The concept of "named tag groups" is introduced as follows:
1. the user can define a named tag group "CeBIT 2013" as (fair, Hannover, 2013,
IT). If later on, new images are imported, they can easily be tagged with
"CeBIT 2013".
2. new "fair-events" can be generated by generation a copy of "CeBIT 2013", and
then modifying the components with sibling tags.

GUI:
1. right pane / tag section: the tag group can be generated by identifying the
corrensponding component tags (as is) and storing the group under a group name
(new)
2. right pane / filter section: tag groups can be selected/deselected, "must
have", "must not have" in the same way as single tags
3. left pane / my Tags: to by extended by "tag groups"
4. left pane / search: search groups to be extended by "tag groups" (Remark:
tag groups can already be defined by set of search groups with single tags
each)
