Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When you have a hierarchy of tags, for example : Animal Animal > Cat Animal > Dog If you enable "automatically select parents" ("Activer auto > parents" in French, right-clicking on "tags"), when you select "Cat", it automatically select "Animal", very good. Then you select "Dog", very good. But when you deselect "Cat" or "Dog", "Animal" becomes deselected, while "Dog" or "Cat" is still enabled.
I can confirm this on Kubuntu Hardy with 0.9.3-2 pkgs. AFAIU you, Romain: animal should only be deselected when the last (grant) children of this tag is deselected, not when the first is deselected.
And deselection of "Animal" should deselect all sons...
For me the current auto-selection of tags is fine and generic. The proposal from this file sound like a specific workflow. It will be complex to solve, because it's includes new options about auto-selection which will bloat implementation and gui. Gilles Caulier
i think the proposed behavior would be more general.
Closing some old bugreports that are related to old digiKam version, and that have not received answers for two years now. If you think the reports are still valid, feel free to re-open them, but please provide updates and do not just open them without giving feedback.
New digiKam 4.11.0 is available. https://www.digikam.org/node/740 Can you reproduce the problem with this release ?
With digiKam 5.0.0, this problem is not reproducible. I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open if necessary. Gilles Caulier
