Ok, the install went smoothly, and I'm playing with it now.

In the search box, under Advanced Search, Tags section, how do it tell
it that the tags should be AND'd together, rather than OR'd?  In
mathematical terms, I want the intersection rather than the union of the
tags' search results.

Hm, with searches I really can't find this but what you can do is select
one of the tags on the left side and then use the tag filter sidebar on
the right side to further restrict the images with more tags. This
allows a conjunction.

That seems to work.  Not quite as convenient or intuitive as doing it in
the search box, but usable.

Probably worth an enhancement request, though.

Danke, Johannes!

Now that's what I'm talking about!  I had seen the multiple searches
thing, but didn't realize I could change the OR to an AND.  It would
still be nice to be able to just AND the tag list in a single search
list, but this works great.

I already saw that.

I'm really liking digiKam already; I hope the windows port keeps up with
the Linux development pace.

Thanks!
