[Bug 194959] New: use keyboard to assign tags

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194959

           Summary: use keyboard to assign tags
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

To speed up review of pictures it would be good to assign tags completely by
keyboard. At the moment you cannot do this - there is no KAction to call "New
Tags..." dialog. Also when using this dialog to add existing tag user is
welcomed with Error about existing tag.

It should be possible to disable this dialog if user knows what (s)he wants to
do.

This point is already seen in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114465

>there is no KAction to call "New Tags..." dialog.

This can be a simple problem to add shortcut to Tags/New... menu entry. Andi ?

>Also when using this dialog to add existing tag user is

We need more info here.

You want mean accordingly with the user context, for example when focus is in
icon view and not in tree folder view ?

I could swear we had a shortcut before? But now it is gone. I would simply use
CTRL+T for that, if it is not taking already?

Ok CTRL+T is a bad idea :-) It is used in more places.
In general the Tag->New... Dialog is not very useful to add existing tags, as
Mik already said.
In another bugreport (#bug 114465) there were some good suggestions, like
having a dialog that behaves like KMails filtering (I like this idea). You will
have a popup dialog with all tags in it (like we have on the right sidebar
now). By simply typing (no need for an input widget like lineedit or something
like that) the list gets filtered. you can then select the tag, hit Enter and
it is assigned (or removed if it was assigned before). ESC will close this
dialog again, and some other shortcut (maybe CTRL+BACKSPACE) will reset the
filtering, so that you can start from the beginning.

I also like the way you tag in F-Spot. Just type will you're in iconview, and
tags become auto-completed. Multiple tags are assigned with a comma separated
list. This is very fast.

#3 - but it is not usable to assign many tags at once - unless digiKam will
recognize ";" or "," to assign previous tag and start from the beginning.

#1 - after entering existing tag name in "new tag" dialog I see another dialog
with info: "This tag already exists, Continue, Cancel". If digiKam goes with
one dialog approach it should be possible to disable dialog with error log.

Have you tried the F-Spot approach?
For me it is quite the best system.

You enter a tag, then press TAB to autocomplete, an ',' is automatically
entered and you can continue to type.
This is very fast. And the nice thing: If you want to assign this tag
combination to many images afterwards, just use copy & paste.

Yes, the F-Spot approach seems to be very handy.

The good thing about this approach is that you constantly see which tags are
already assigned. In digiKam we must first set the toggleButton to see already
assigned tags.
