[digiKam-users] Keyword hierarchy

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

Peter,

Unfortunately, I didn't keep a track of the details of my search, which 
is strange, I usually do. What I remember is that when I decided to use 
hierarchical tags, a few months ago, I gathered the names of the free 
image organizers I could use (I wouldn't even try Picasa, for example) 
and I checked how they implemented tag hierarchy (if they implemented 
it). I reached the conclusion that DigiKam's way of doing it (hierarchy 
elements separated by slashes) was pretty common. Of course my little 
study was completely empirical, and anyhow, this wouldn't be of any use 
if you chose to switch to one of the softwares (however rare) which 
don't understand DigiKam's way of doing it.
