review tag function ?

[Julien T]

Hello,

I'm a recent digikam user and I want to comment on tag function.

I'm finding it's a pity that
* there is no keyboard shortcut for tag
* there is no easy way to put multiple tags on one or multiple
pictures in one operation.

I would love to have a firefox-like tag window with auto-completion
and being able to enter multiple tags at once.

Is there some evolution planned on this function ?

Thanks

Note: I'm using Digikam 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10.
eventually, is this tips still valid to get latest digikam

?

But what for ? since tags are multiple and various, one shorcut still not  
sufficient for tagging picture.

To tag pictures, the fastest is to use the right panel. You could also use  
the right click contextual menu but with less options (like auto select of  
parent or child).

But it's possible and easy to do...

-select your picture(s)
-check multiple tags you want to apply to these (in the right panel tags  
tab)
-click on the apply button !

But may be you want to talk about something else ?

There's already a search field in the right panel...

About keyboard shorcut tags, it still planed on my TODO list. There is some uncomplete code on my computer...

We did not understand each other. Do you use firefox ?

Ctrl+D to add a bookmark
tab to go to taggign field
enter a list of tags with autocompletion separate with comma

it's some kind of religion and I am on the keyboard side.
Compare the 2 ways on firefox and answer appears clearly.

most of my tagging is done when I sort my pictures, so in view mode.
In this mode, I can't select multiple pictures.

I'm not talking of search field.

Ok for the shortcut tags, Gilles.
Do you plan user-configureable multiple shortcuts or one like said at
the beginning of this email ?

Thanks a lot.
