But if you structure DigiKam's tags thus:

places
	France
		Paris
			Hilton Hotel
				entrance

then spotty teenager looking for

people
	Paris Hilton
		bodily orifices

will not be disappointed ;-)




Question for the DigiKam gurus here:

Say I have a tag heirarchy:

people
	Bloggs
		Joe
		Jane
		Jill
	Smith
		Andy
		Betty
		Joe

If I tag a picture of Joe Bloggs, by default only the 'Joe' tag seems to 
get applied to the image. So how do I search for just Joe Bloggs without 
getting Joe Smith? Or does DK 'know' which Joe is which?
