[Digikam-users] Child tags not included into parent tags?

[Bogdan Enache]

Hi.

I've just started using digiKam, and I've seen something strange. I've 
tagged some pictures manually (Add New Tag) with something along the 
lines of "Family/Brother", and then a few others with "Family/Sister" 
(without quotes). The My Tags pane in the right got updated to show 5 in 
Family, 3 in Family/Brother and 2 in Family/Sister (which I considered 
the normal behavior).

Then I've selected more of them and tagged them by right clicking and 
choosing Family -> Sister and Family -> Brother.

At that point I've seen that tagging them by right-click does not add 
them to the Family tag, but only to the child tags, Family/Sister and 
Family/Brother. I'm quite stumped right now, I don't know why this 
happens. I expected they would be counted also for the parent tag. Right 
now I have the tag Family (5) with its subtags Brother (110) and Sister 
(139).

The problem is that someday I might want to filter all pictures which 
contain Family, which would not possible (it only shows me 5 of them). 
And I don't want to manually tag them with Family *and* Family/Brother 
separately.

Has any of you seen this till now? Is this normal behavior (I consider 
it not to be, at least it's inconsistent). Any way to repair it?

Thank you.
