[KPhotoAlbum] image search question

[Johannes Zarl]

Hi Markus,

As Joe already said, the easiest way to do this is to make the "Pool" tag 
independent of "Hotel A" and "Hotel B". And in fact they are independent: not 
all pool photos belong to Hotel A (or B), and not all photos of Hotel A (or B) 
are pool photos.

An example where it would be appropriate to have some sub-category belong to 
more than one super-category would be when the super-categories are in some 
way orthogonal. E.g. if you had another category "Poolbar at Hotel A", it 
would make sense to make it a sub-category of both "Hotel A" and "Pool".

Regarding your queries (and assuming you have "Pool" independent from the two 
Hotel categories):
> > *) search for all photos from hotel A,
Select "Hotel A"

> > *) search for all photos from the pool of hotel A,
Select "Hotel A", then select "pool" (or vice versa).

Hope this helps,
  Johannes
