how to NOT embed tag hierarchy in IPTC?

[Lawrence Plug]

When sending an image to agencies and stock, I need only the
individual tags, not the whole tag hierarchy, to be the IPTC
keyword.

For example, if i select only toronto, ontario, and canada in this
hierarchy:

places/canada/ontario/toronto

.. I want 'toronto', 'ontario', and 'canada' to appear as
individual IPTC keywords.

Is there currently a way to do this??

If not, I'll enter a feature request. When I use digikam now, a
lot of editing of IPTC keywords outside digikam is required
before submitting images. I could abandon hierarchical tags in
digikam, but I don't want to do that as they are useful for
organization.


Thanks
Lawrence

Since digiKam 0.10.0 (KDE4) support XMP, we have a dedicated namespace
to host Tags Path. By this way iptc only store tags names as keywords,
like you want.

But it's not implemented in digiKam for KDE3, because it doesn't
support XMP (and there is no plan to do it)

That's a big improvement to look forward to. Thanks.

Will it *only* work this way?  I usually want it to work the way it
already works in 0.9.x & KDE3.  For example if I mark an image as
Oman/Muscat I want to know it's a picture I took in Oman as well as
being a picture of Muscat.

For the moment, yes. please open a whish in bugzilla to
digiKam/metadata component if you want to see something like that
implemented.

Thanks in advance
