Categories Filter - Select top category should select subs

[dietmar]

Pierre,

having a category such as Photos in the example database having sub-categories such as Friends or Flowers, the Categories Filter allows you to select a sub-category.

Thus selecting Friends selects all images tagged as Friends (globally, folder or recursive). This makes good sense.

There might also be images tagged with the top category (here Photos) only. This for instance happens when you didn't have sub-categories when tagging the image or if you don't know which sub-category to put it in.

The only way to select ALL images in the Photos category including all sub-categories currently is:

Expand the complete sub-tree including all sub-categories and their sub-sub-categories. Highlight each of them using Shift-Click or Control-Click.

I would like to see some UI element which automatically selects the whole sub-tree for a category. For instance the Match menu could include a check "Include sub-categories (recursive)".
