Digikam 1.2.0 tagging interface issue.

[Sean T Evans]

Hash: SHA1

Since upgrading to Kubuntu 10.04 and, in turn Digikam 1.2.0 I am unable
to tag photos using the same method as I did previously. Previously I
was able to add tags via the "Enter new tag here..." textbox by typing
the tag. If the tag existed in the DB it would auto complete and hitting
Enter would add the tag to the photo(s). It no longer behaves this way.
If I type a tag there that exists in the DB, I get an error message. It
seems that it's no longer possible.

Not being able to add tags other than by scrolling though my entire list
(of 100+) tags and clicking is a major change of workflow, and makes the
tagging interface nearly useless.

How about typing the existing keyword in bottom of the side-bar into "Search" field and then assigning it?

This is still a significant workflow change and much less simple. Using
the search bar box I have to click on that box, type a word, press
enter, then, using the mouse click the check box for that tag, then
mouse back to the search field and repeat. And only works for tags that
are in the DB. A whole separate set of actions is required for words
that are new tags. Previously it was a simple matter of typing words
followed by "enter". I could apply tags in a much more organic manner.

I'm not sure I understand. I didn't read all 100+ entries on the 4.5
year old ticket, but what I'm asking about is not a new feature, but the
way tagging worked in previous versions of Digikam.

Please open a bug report. This is probably a feature that was lost
during the model view port.
