Tagging images - hiding irrelevant tags?

[Johnny]

While tagging my latest batch of photos, I realised how few of all the
tags I am actually using and wonder how other people here deal with
that?

When tagging, I normally use the expanded view and step through the
photos using page-up/down and tag by mousing the side-pane.

Of all the places tags, I use mostly one or a couple; of people tags
normally a couple; of category tags, another few, and so on... This
means I have to scroll up and down quite often in the tag list, and
therefore wondered if there is a way to hide the tags I know I will not
need for the current tagging and mimnimise this scrolling? The same
problem applies on using the "tag-on-right-click", displaying many
irrelevant tags (for "this" batch of photos).

Has any of you any suggestion for improved workflow when tagging or idea
if "hide irrelevant tags for the time being" is possible or desirable?

Thanks!

Until a couple weeks ago i was tempted to ask the same question.  I
now often use the search box below the tag list and sometimes the
'recent tags' button to the right of the search box.  Not the 'check'
button (already applied tags) but the 'down arrow' button.  Mostly the
search box though.  I felt pretty silly for not having bothered to
look at those features before.  When adding new tags the 'enter new
tag here' box above the list of tags is also quite nice.

Cheers,

You could try arranging your tags into heirarchies, and collapse the branches you aren't using. E.g. you could put your place names in a places branch, and your people name into a people branch. When you're tagging people, collapse the places branch.



You could divide the people branch into friends and family, etc.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! And they have
accelerator keys, wonderful! And for the grand finale;

Is there any keyboard shortcut to trigger the 'Recent Tags' menu so I
can avoid mousing altogether?

No, but Tags keyboard Shorcuts is implemented in 2.0.0 :

Great, I will look forward to installing 2.0 and play around with all
new features and letting my mouse rest!

Thanks, and I really appreciate all the work put into Digikam already
(from the entire team of course!)!
