Well, I'm afraid you are right. I didn't test hard enough, just by accident in
my case the sub tags I tried were further aft in the alphabet.
Putting the ~ in front of all sub tags would be too tedious unless the
correlator would do it, maybe as an option. Creating special geo tags is
something the devs would probably not like becaue it makes the code more
complacated (Gilles?) for a relatively personal issue. I say that because since
I'm following the discussions I heard so many ideas how to abuse the tags and
this is an abuse to me as well. There are metadata fields especially for that
purpose (IPTC country code, country, city, sublocation, ...) and in my opinion
they should be used instead of bloating the tag tree. Unfortunately I have to
admit that the metadata handling in digiKam is not in a stage yet to do this
effectively and Gilles told me that it takes an amount of manpower to improve
that we cannot afford right now. So maybe the ~ in front of the tags assigned
by the correlator could be an interim solution.
