Child tags not included into parent tags?
 
|
Hi.
I've just started using digiKam, and I've seen something strange. I've tagged some pictures manually (Add New Tag) with something along the lines of "Family/Brother", and then a few others with "Family/Sister" (without quotes). The My Tags pane in the right got updated to show 5 in Family, 3 in Family/Brother and 2 in Family/Sister (which I considered the normal behavior). Then I've selected more of them and tagged them by right clicking and choosing Family -> Sister and Family -> Brother. At that point I've seen that tagging them by right-click does not add them to the Family tag, but only to the child tags, Family/Sister and Family/Brother. I'm quite stumped right now, I don't know why this happens. I expected they would be counted also for the parent tag. Right now I have the tag Family (5) with its subtags Brother (110) and Sister (139). The problem is that someday I might want to filter all pictures which contain Family, which would not possible (it only shows me 5 of them). And I don't want to manually tag them with Family *and* Family/Brother separately. Has any of you seen this till now? Is this normal behavior (I consider it not to be, at least it's inconsistent). Any way to repair it? Thank you. _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi,
I don't know if it's possible to add the parent tags by selecting like you do. But what you can do i in the View menu select "Include tags children"(don't know if that's what is says in english, translated from swedish!!!). Then you can select Family and all images with sub-tags will also be shown. That's how I do it. I don't like to have too many tags in the images... /Anders 2011/2/27 Bogdan Enache <[hidden email]>: > Hi. > > I've just started using digiKam, and I've seen something strange.

May be it's easier to select both "Brother" and "Sister" tagged pictures,
and then just add Family tag to all of them. I don't thing "autoselect/deselect parent" works with the right click tagging method, you have to use the right panel to do that.

Forcing each picture to have tag "Family" and tag "Family/Brother" indicates that inside digikam there is no hierarchy at all when tags are chosen. If I click on "Family" in the tag selection pane on the left I really want pictures of all my family members. The other problem with forcing all tags in the hierarchy to be set is that it can cause issues if you move a tag from one part of the hierarchy to another. You have to make sure all the old parents are deselected and all the new parents are selected. That would be simple if you weren't tagging the parents at all. I have to admit I've never found a "Include tags children" but I'll have a look tonight (and it's possible it was added in 1.x series and I stopped looking for it at the 0.9.x versions). -- Tim Jenness _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

What version of Digikam are you using? I remember that I had a problem like that but now I don't. Everything seems to work Ok now except for an old version that I use in windows that does exactly what you say. I'm using 1.4 in Kubuntu and things are good.
