[digiKam-users] Sorting the tags tab so that checked items appear at the top

[Webreaper]

Hi, I'm new to Digikam, and looking to use it to replace Lightroom. A key
feature is to be able to quickly and efficiently tag photos with IPTC
keywords so I can find them again (and also for upload to stock sites).

One of the problems I'm having is that I have around 500 existing tags
across the collection which are new to Digikam. This results in a huge list
in the Tags tab, which in itself is fine. But when I click on a photo
thumbnail, seeing which tags have already been applied to that photo is not
possible without scrolling down the list and looking for checked items.

Is there a way to change the sort order of the hierarchy view so that
checked/existing tags on a particular photo will bubble up to the top?

Hello,

Not sure if it is possible to get the used ones at the top. Though you
can filter make only the used ones visible. There is a button for that
below the tags list.

Ah, that's perfect - and exactly what I needed. I missed it because the contrast of the icon is very feint, so it just looked like a rectangle, not a button. 

Thank you!

You can play with Themes and Icon settings to get more contrast, e.g. a dark theme and 'breeze dark' icons work well together.
