Categories - suggested improvement

[Amamba]

Categories could be an extremely powerful organizing tool. They are useful now, but I think there are ways to make the feature much more powerful:

1) Nested categories - selecting a parent category should show all photos in child categories. E.g. if I have parent cat. "Travel" and under it "Paris", "NY", "Toronto", checking on "Travel" should show all photos in these categories.

2) In a category view, there should be a way to go to the folder the selected photo is in. E.g. right click -> "Browse parent folder"

3) It would be nice if there was a way to copy categories from one photo to another - something like a format brush icon in Office

Thanks !

Right

It should work automatically, without Ctrl IMHO, it's not like normal directories.
