           Summary: usability: easily copy tags, comments from one image to
                    another
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: simon margo student utwente nl


Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

When I have a set of images and I already tagged/labeled them, sometimes I find other images that need the exact same tags, or similar enough that it would be easier to start with that set of tags than none at all.

I tried "intuitively" to drag the tagged image over and drop onto the untagged one, which didn't work. This would perhaps also not be intuitive for tagging a group of new images.

An alternative idea would be to have some sort of "infect" function to propagate the tags of one image to the selection. I am thinking of a colour sampler type of button that would allow the tag/label settings of the current selection to absorb the tags from the sampled image.

Cheers

Simon

That is rather for metadata templates/macros.

Scenario:

Tag image appropriately.

In menu choose option: Create template
All tags, metadata, etc. will be put in template which can be later
applied  to other images.

Good example of powerful solution has FotoStation. However it
may be not seem user friendly...

This may be rather task to Metadata kipi-plugin. Gilles?

I don't think that this is for a template, but just for something quick like:
oh, the next 4 images should have the same tags as the current one,
let's just do a drag-and-drop (or whatever the solution will be).

Currently I use the following approach for such a (not uncommon!) situation:
select the image which has the tags and those images which should get the tags as well. Then in the Comments/Tags sidebar  use the filter to
only show the assigned tags. These are marked as greyed out
and can then be ticked easily and applied to all selected images.

I'm thinking more in the line of Arnd here. The greyed tags and label are already visible, perhaps it would be easy to just add a button to the panel "activating" this greyed selection for all of the current selection?

Though I'm also quite pleased with the idea of sampling tags off an existing image (that is not part of the current selection).

How about a copy/paste-special function like word processor or spreadsheet programs have?

I like Quinn's idea too, it could also be useful to be able to copy exif data from one image to another (like exiftool can do)
