Hi list

I was just testing the new hierarchical tags and found something quite
confusing.

I can best explain it with an example. Let's assume we have a tag tree
like the following:

+ Tags
  + Location
    + France
      + Paris
  + People
    + Lisa
    + Bart

Assigning Tags with Drag&Drop in these orders results in Tags shown
(via "Modify Tags..." (Ctrl-M)):

| Tags         | Tags shown                    |
|--------------+-------------------------------|
| Paris        | France, Location, Paris       |
| Paris, Bart  | Bart, Paris, People           |
| Bart         | Bart, People                  |
| Bart, Paris  | Bart, France, Location, Paris |
| Bart, Lisa   | Bart, Lisa                    |

Which is quite confusing. Moreover when introducing a subtag to People
"Paris":

+ Tags
  + Location
    + France
      + Paris
  + People
    + Paris

| Tags         | Tags shown                    |
|--------------+-------------------------------|
| Paris        | Paris, People                 |
| Paris, Paris | France, Location, Paris       |

Perhaps something like "{Location, France, Paris}, {People, Paris}"
would be appropriate?

Regards,
Marius
