Version: 0.8.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 I just tried to give keywords to all my pictures. But that would take months doing that manually. It would be great to get a feature that would "tag" my pictures automatically. I thought of generating the keywords for a picture according to the filename of the picture. Example: All my pictures have describing filenames like "john and joe laughing.jpg". It would be nice to generate two keywords "john" and "joe" for this picture.

Yes both could work :D But let's think of the following situation: You have 100 Keywords (perhaps they were generated with the two methods you mentioned). Now i add a new album. Wouldn't it be great when digikam automatically tags the new pictures (whose filenames have describing names) using the already existing tags for a comparation? So everything would be done automatically and the user doesn't have to set the tags manually.
I don't think we will implement such a feature, or do we? I can not imagine that a lot of users have such descriptive file names... Gilles, Marcel, Arnd, what do you think? Andi
Yes, this is a non sence for me, like we can search image based on file name as with tags... Gilles Caulier
