Sorry, I did not make myself clear: f-spot has a hierarchical tag
lists, but writes only 'flat' tags, in the Xmp:Subject field, in a
comma separated list.


At the moment, when you import from f-spot in shotwell, shotwell gets
correctly the tags hierarchy, but then it reads the tags from the
photos -- if you had them written in the files metadata -- and for
every tag that is not in the top-level in the f-spot hierarchy,
shotwell creates a *new* root-level tag, duplicating the one already
in the tags tree. I hope this is clear.


Any way, we have already a ticket for that, #4051, and I was asking
for news, because this bug renders -- for me and for people with tags
into the photos metadata -- the import from f-spot impossible.


On a partially unrelated note, until one cannot select multiple tags
for moving them around the tree in shotwell, adjusting the tags tree
after each import would be a PITA.


Ciao ciao,
