Description Torsten.Lull 2010-02-10 09:07:04 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If saving IPTC metadata (keywords), digiKam 0.9.x stored the complete path, e. g., tag1/tag2/tag3
Starting with version 0.10 (including 1.0) the tags are stored separately without a delimiter. It would be nice if you could reactivate the old behaviour. Additionally it could be possible to have the choice whether a delimiter and which delimiter should be stored (see Adobe Bridge).

Thanks in advance

To store Tags path, digiKam use now a dedicated XMP name-space instead IPTC metadata. IPTC store only tags name since 0.10.0.
