So, you are mean that the tag window should both have Tags as well as
Meta Tags.
Tags (User editable)  : Places, People etc
Meta Tags (READ ONLY) : Camera, Aperture, Time Range, Flash etc

Time Range would be settable from Find -> Time Range, but the others
from EXIF data. Or?

As the date range works, is a lot of hacking in the various query
functions. (If DATE RANGE then add to SQL (WHERE DATE between ...))
So, for now, I should add something like
If IMPORT SESSION then add to SQL (WHERE photo_id IN Import_Session_IDS)
Not the nicest way perhaps, but do not know any other way either.
