[Digikam-users] Rating based on quality or content? Ideas, comments?

While rating pictures I always struggle to be consistent, mainly because
I am struggling whether to rate the picture for it's quality or it's
content. 

In particular considering that the quantity of digital images have
increased drastically the last few years, making the differentiation of
quality and content less acute - there is normally a quite good quality
picture that also represents the situation or motive it is intended to
capture. However, earlier years albums have fewer pictures, of sometimes
quite poor quality to be frank, but the rarer the picture and content,
the more precious in a way, so I'd like to rate "content" as high, while
rating "quality" as poor. 

Does anyone else recognize this, and if so, how do you deal with it? 

Now, I could probably do a separate tag structure for this, but it would
be ideal to have two separate star-ratings, and e.g. pass through the
collection, using C-[1-5] for quality rating and (maybe) M-[1-5] for
content rating.

I am looking forward to hear fellow Digikam users opinions and ideas!

Cheers!
