            Bug ID: 496514
           Summary: Regular Expression search facility
    Classification: Applications
           Product: digikam
           Version: 8.5.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Searches-Advanced
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Having got into the 100ks figure of inherited slides (now digitized) I need a
sophisticated method to manage them.
I need a better search system. 
I have a structured set of tags, and when I come to process another set of
images, which I have input, I quickly flag them. I then convert the flags to
the head of the tag structure. That works well. 
First thing which would help is I would like to find all the images which are
tagged to a particular point in the hierarchy but do not have any children tags
allocated.
So given a tag structure of this sort 
Tags
    Buildings
    Canals
       Aire and Calder
       Ashby
       Ashton
            Manchester Flight
                Lock1 Below
                Lock1
                Lock2 Below
                    Islington Branch
                Lock2
       BCN

    Farming
        Lowland
        Upland
    Landscape
    Railways
        Presevation
           East Lancs  
         Post Grouping
             GWR
             LMS
             LNER
             Southern
         Pre Grouping
             L&Y
               Bury Shed
               Bolton Shed
             LNWR

So for example, I would like to find all the images which have the tag
Canals/Ashton but have no child tag.
another example all those images which have the tag Railways/Pre Grouping/L&Y
but again have no child tag.
This could easily be an extension of the current advanced search facility as it
could be a tick box saying no marked child of tag .............

This would enable me to find quickly all those images where further detail may
be easily identified and tagged accordingly.

It would also be beneficial to be able to create a regular expression type
search for things, however this I suspect would require a lot more work to
provide the ability to make things selectable as keys.
