Description Nadav Kavalerchik 2011-09-11 13:25:49 UTC 
Version:           1.9.0
OS:                Linux

When i right click an image to set a new tag (or several images) and then choose a TAG that has parent TAGs. only that TAG is set and not the parent TAGs, although it is set for "auto parent"

Using the TAG panel, it works just fine :-)

btw, should the "set auto tag" be in the "configure digikam" dialog?
( It took me some time to find it, maybe it is just me )

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
When i right click an image to set a new tag (or several images) and then choose a TAG that has parent TAGs. only that TAG is set and not the parent TAGs, although it is set for "auto parent"

Same here. Please check 2.1.0 version, just released. 1.9.0 is pretty old now...

I think the auto-tags setting is indeed local and not a global setting

I have used the instructions (for Kubuntu users) of moving from Digikam 1.9 main packages to 2.x ppa packages on the : http://www.mohamedmalik.com/?p=1019 blog, and upgraded my Digikam to version 2.1.0 and the issue is now solved.

Thanks :-)
