Hi Bernhard,

tagging series in this way helps, but when there is some time between taking 
the photos and processing them I don't want to separate the different series 
again. At least I think groups are the perfect tool for this kind of work.

Maybe I can write a script, that can create tags like
> Image|Series|Panorama|001

That might be the best solution for me.


regards

Holger
