Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2011-07-31 07:11:58 UTC
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Following the instructions given I tried to create a new tag
Locations/mylocation

workaround
create tag mylocation and move it to Locations

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
select multiple images
add new tag
"Locations/mylocation"

Actual Results:  
the tag is splitt into 2 tags
Locations, mylocation in the image
and sometimes
Locations/Locations/mylocation in the tag database
sorry if this might not be  very accurate ....


Expected Results:  
create a tag mylocation in category Locations

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc

"/" is the delimiter, so just as you cannot create a file with a "/", you cannot create a tag with a "/" because by that you tell the program to split the tag in parent/child

help text

the help text says that '/' can be used to create a hierarchy ....
which seems not to be the case following your comment #2
Comment 3 Ferdinand Gassauer 2011-08-02 05:09:47 UTC
creating 
/Keywords/test1/test2 
adds 3 tags Keywords,test1,test2 
IMHO only test2 should be added
contrary to
Keywords,test1,test2
should add all 3
just my 2c

Thank you for the guide Elle, I'll try it, but such things should not be necessary, this should just work.
Comment 7 DrSlony 2012-10-28 16:13:10 UTC
Err ignore that last comment, wrong bug.
Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2013-12-01 23:29:15 UTC
To be clear :

"Locations, mylocation" in the image metadata, especially IPTC due to string size limitation of this container. In fact each tag from tags path is stored in a dedicated keyword, to prevent cut strings.

"Locations/mylocation" in image metadata, especially XMP to a dedicated digiKam namespace (as in DB). XMP do not have all IPTC limitation.

So, all is normal here...
