Baloo/Dolphin also works well with hierarchical tags; you can have high level
tags that have tags underneath them (and so on...)

Your top level tags appear in "Places". If you click on "All Tags", you get
that list and you can click on a tag there and go down a level and see any
subtags (together with the tagged files).

The logic in planning out the tags you use is a bit like planning out your file
structure, folders and subfolders. The advantage of tags is that a file can
have many tags and thus appear in many "tag folders" unlike a files that lives
in one place in a filesystem.

If you found you were tagging too many things with types of animals, you could
create a top level tag

    Animals

and under that

    Mammals
    Reptiles
    Fish

and under each of those, the type of animal. A tag would look like:

    Animals/Mammals/Elephant.

It works, in general, remarkably well; you can navigate round your "tag
structure" in Dolphin in a very similar way to moving round your file
structure. You do need baloo to be working properly (and indexing all the
folders you want to manage) but you don't need "Content indexing" unless you
also want to search for embedded tags in images, music etc. Of course there are
a handful of "little issues" and it's possible you could run into them. I can
try to put together a summary...
