Description Andreas Trawoger 2010-04-26 17:38:50 UTC 
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If you import a picture that has multiple hierarchical subjects like:

exiftool  "-HierarchicalSubject=Astro|Starlightreserve, Location|Groszmugl, Astro|Skywatching" test.jpg

and import them in digikam. 

The multiple hierarchical subjects get parsed as a single keyword named "'Astro'/'Starlightreserve, Location'/'Groszmugl, Astro/Skywatching'" instead of being parsed as multiple keywords named 'Astro/Starlightreserve',  'Location'/'Groszmugl' and 'Astro/Skywatching'

Defining multiple hierarchical subjects in digikam and writing to them to a picture does work fine.

Can you give us a sample file that fails?

New digiKam 4.11.0 is available.

Can you reproduce the problem with this release ?

This problem is not reproducible using last digiKam 5.0.0 + Exiv2 0.25.
I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open if necessary.
