[digiKam-users] Multiple tags/multiple individuals of same species

[imd17]

Hi Everyone,

I am using Digicam to look at bird species. I was just wondering if anyone
knew how to tag more than one individual in a photo? Is there a better way
to do this than using tags?

For example, it is easy to tag a single Jackdaw in a photo, but if there are
5 Jackdaws in the photo I can't tag it 5 times as Jackdaw which will help me
with my analysis later.

Look forward to your help and thanks in advance.

Ivan

Hi,

If you just want to count the number of bird of a same species in a photo, you could probably use a separate "count" tag with the number of bird of the determined species in the photo, but for different species, may be try with the face tag in digikam which may be permitt to tag some areas in a photo ? (But personnally I don't use it).

There is a free-form field "caption". Using that in combination with the
keyword (e.g. keyword "Jackdaw", and in the caption "5 jackdaw") might do what
you want.

It also depends on what you use to do the later analysis. E.g. under linux it
isn't difficult to extract XMP tags/fields, and then analyse those with the
standard command-line tools (grep, awk, ...). Or go straight to the database
and extract the info from there.

Good luck,
