Version: 0.9.x (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I think may be useful to allow to set tags/comments for multiple images at the same time. When classifying large collections of images is very slow to set the same comment/tag to diferent images one by one. I think a tristate dialog is a good option, as KDE file permissions dialog: on, to set a tag to the selected images; off, to unset a tag to selected images and tristate, to leave that tag without changes on selected images.
Ricardo, Note : this is already possible using the picture context menu from Album GUI, or using Drag and drop with left sidebar. Of course, this is not work yet using Comment & Tags sidebar Gilles Caulier

This is confusing. Recently I someone asked me for a software that he could use to tag photos. As recommended digikam. The first thing he asked was why he wasn't able to set one tag to multiple photos at once. He had tried to do this using the right tag sidebar. And now I am completely confused since Caulier said, that tagging (I mean assigning tags to) multible photos is possible with the left tag sidebar? How can this be? Selecting a tag in the left tag sidebar simply selects and shows photos that have the tag I just selected already set. How could I set one tag to a set of selected photos in one of my albums this way? Rainer Krienke
Sorry for the confusion (:=)))... But not form the left sidebar ("My Tags"), but from right sidebar ("Tags Filters") Take a selection of pictures from an album and drag & drop a tag from "Tags Filters". ...or... Take a selection of pictures from an album, lauch picture popup menu, and select "Assign Tag". About Comments & Tags side bar, it's in TODO list. time missing to do it before 0.9.0 final release.

But perhaps there is still time to make things more intuitive: Since dragging icons from the tag-filter tab is I think not intuitive if there is actually a second side tab explicitly made for setting tags. So it would be intuitive to be able to drag the icons from this tab. Thats actually what I tried (and where my intuition failed :-) ) and I never had the idea to drag icons from the tag *filter* tab on the photos for this purpose because filtering and setting of tags are two very seperate things. So perhaps it would make things a lot better if one could drag icons from both tabs in order to tag multiple photo at once if this is not too much work for the release plan. Thanks Rainer
I think it is solved for comments with latest metadata editor kipi-plugin and for tags it was always working with drag'n'drop.
I agree that having the right sidebar only tag the first selected image when multiple are selected is confusing and looks lika a bug. The expected behavior is that clicking a tag with multiple pictures selected tags all the selected pictures. Also, isn't this a duplicate of Bug #131600?
Aren't all topics mentioned in this thread solved in current svn so that this can be closed?
Yes, this file can be closed since multiple selection of item is support by Comments & Tags sidebar tab since Marcel commit #624738 Gilles Caulier
