[digiKam-users] digikam and inaturalist integration

[Matthieu]

Dear all,

After using for few months the inaturalist website to help me identify which kind of animals and plants I shooted, I was wondering few thing regarding this website integration in digikam.

First of all, are we many users using both digikam and inaturalist? I was wondering if it could be interesting being able to share our pictures in this website ? if yes, I'll open a feature request.

Secondly, like I said, I use inaturalist to identify animals and plants I shooted. After that, I set the appropriate taxonomy labels on my pictures.

Taxonomy is well documented but it's a mess to have to define all the related labels.

Did someone has already did this job?

Is there a way to export and import labels in digikam? I can't find currently any solutions to imports labels.

Regards

Mat

I use taxonomic labels, but the tag tree only contains the tags I find useful.
Which means that I usually go down to family level (or genus for some specific
groups), and I don't bother with all the levels between order and family. At
least one of the groups I'm interested in isn't really well-defined yet, so
names change regularly, and grouping of (plant) families also tends to change
every so often. Redoing the tree is a hassle.

In addition, I don't use the tags to find a specific species, but just to reduce
the number of images to be checked.

Neither can I, and it might be a nice addition (it would also allow easy
import of standard tag trees).

Dear all, Matthieu,

I have the same problem. Solutions would be really helpful for all of  
us who take botanical pictures!

Best,

Please fill a new entry in digiKam bugzilla, into export section as whish a new tool.

We can delegate later this job to a future student.
