[digiKam-users] Advanced search and hierarchical tags

[Maik Qualmann]

The behavior is correct if the "Events" tag is not assigned to a image.
In the advanced search you have to reverse the search, you can open the 
"Options >>" at the top of the window, there you select "None of these 
conditions are met".
