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

[Stedtlund]

Hi,

I don't know if it's possible to add the parent tags by selecting like you do.

But what you can do i in the View menu select "Include tags
children"(don't know if that's what is says in english, translated
from swedish!!!). Then you can select Family and all images with
sub-tags will also be shown. That's how I do it. I don't like to have
too many tags in the images...
