Description Simon 2010-06-15 21:03:42 UTC
Version:           0.6.2
OS:                Linux

Wish: Kind of a trashbin symbol for images to mark them and delete them all at once when ready.

Use case: When sorting bad images out I often tag them as «to delete». When I'm done I usually review the images I intend to delete, just to make sure there is no image I unintendedly tagged, perhaps tag some more images. When I feel okay with the images I want to keep I go to the tags view and delete all tagged images.

As this is not a rare scenario (deleting bad images) I propose to add a feature that supports this workflow:
* Pre-mark images for the trashbin
* Highlight the marked images in a special way
* Display all marked images
* Remove mark of marked images
* Delete marked images

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-0.slh.9-sidux-amd64

Comment 1 Fri13 2010-06-15 22:12:18 UTC
I can understand the point but I have never liked the idea to tag photos with tag "delete-photo" or similar.

I have found best way to delete bad photos after the rating.
First thing what I do after the import is that I start rating photos. I just simply start from first one and I use space (and shift+space) and CTRL+1 to 5 keys for rating. Ctrl+0 for removing rating (that I have been thinking to be moved to Ctrl+§ key (the one on left of 1) so it would be easier).

The optimal state in photo management is that every photo is at least rated, better if every photo is tagged with even the basic metadata like place or subject (weddings, party, birthday etc). With the date it is easy to find photos and when 0.10 brought better GPS support, it is easy to find location as well (I have mapped Ctrl+G shortcut for it, it is then easy. But not as easy as it will come when you just drop photos to map position).

After I have gone trough all the photos what I just imported, I have photos with different ratings. Example of 700 photos import from the day I would get:

1 rating 300
2 rating 140
3 rating 70
4 rating 35
5 rating 7
0 rating all the rest.

After that I can very easily just right click the rating filter in bottom and select "equals" and when I have no rating set, I only get non-rated photos what are the bad ones.

This way I only get photos what I can actually use some point. The hard part is to learn how to actually give low (1-2) ratings and high (4-5) ratings well. On me, it toke few times to actually learn enough criticism to learn the way. But I keep very basic things in my mind when rating:

1 = subject is sharp or someway it tells something what sharp photos does not

2 = subject is sharp and and photo is good but it has no special happening (people are not smiling, they are not discussing or the "spirit" is is lame) or exposure is littlebit over/under.

3 = subject is sharp, there is somekind action in photos what can be shown to others, exposure is good.

4 = subject is sharp, there is action what is someway special. The composition is good and exposure is correct.

5 = subject is sharp, there is action, the composition is perfect and exposure is perfect.

And after the rating, when the rating filter is set to "equals", you can simply go trough all the ratings from 1 to 5 and check the bottom left corner how many photos did you actually rate with the rating. If there is somekind un-balance like there is 10% rating 1 and 60% rating 5, there is something wrong ;-)

In good management, you get only the 5% of photos with rating 5. They are such what you can show anytime to anyone. With no problems.

The hard part with rating is as well that we can think rating photos just by the case by case. Like every importing session. But even better when we can rate photos keeping mind all the other photos in the collection. So if we select photos from 5 albums where is together the 1500 photos, we get with rating 5 only a 30 photos. That works well if the per-import rating is done with good criticism.

In the end, when you want to show your shots. You can simply set advanced search to pickup only photos of rating 4-5 and then wanted tags/albums/date and you would get very good set of photos what gives you a good start even for editing photos or especially starting a slideshow where the time of the slideshow is about 4-6 minutes. Point is, when the rating is done well, you get rid off the worse photos what you can not use at all. But it works as well the base for all work what later will be done.

The "no-rating" should be tought as the information what says "photo has no merit to exist even on my backups"
Comment 2 Simon 2010-08-21 10:21:31 UTC
Thanks for your answers! I didn't know about Ctrl+Num before yet. This really helped me now. 

Ctrl+§: Would be great, but is it possible to support different keyboard layouts? 

I've rated my photos for some years but then stopped it. I found that it wasn't worth the effort in my case; 1. because I don't diashow my photos and, more important, 2. because I often found myself re-rating pictures because I changed my mind about the importance of the content or just because I became better and didn't like the old pictures anymore.

So I've deleted all pictures with rating 1 (and perhaps soon the ones with 2 as well). And the one-star-rating is my new «not worth keeping» tag.

What I still do is tagging the pictures (or adding a caption) because I can search for text. And delete as many as possible because there are only few I really want to take a look at again later.

Hi all in this entry.

Following my comment here : 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152424#c77

...i will work on "Pick Label" feature for 2.0.0 release, after to have completed "Color Label" feature.

Gilles Caulier
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2011-02-10 20:25:26 UTC
Marcel,

For "Pick Label" feature, i plan to do exactly the same thing than for "Color Label", excepted the mark to apply over icon-view. For this, i don't have found the right solution. All suggestions are welcome...

The "Pick Label" is a mark to apply on items to identify which images to reject, to accept, or still in pending validation in the workflow.

Of course, we can use Color Label for this task, but after to have seen a demo of this feature under Aperture, i think it's better to have a dedicated mark for a validation workflow, against Tags, Color Label, or Rating.

Gilles Caulier
Comment 5 Marcel Wiesweg 2011-02-10 20:49:08 UTC
Sounds fine. You are unsure about the graphical representation of this mark in the UI?
Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2011-02-10 22:03:39 UTC
Marcel,

Yes. We need probably another icon view item overlay. But which representation to do do to be explicit...

I will take a look how other program manage this feature in GUI

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2011-02-11 12:01:36 UTC
Adobe LightRoom "Pick Label" :

From this article : 

http://www.digital-photography-school.com/choosing-images-using-survey-view-in-lightroom

...look this screen-shot where "flags" are "Pick Label" :

http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Survey-view-in-Lightroom-3-tm.jpg

I don't like this solution to annotate icon-view items, because it's not very visible. A rejected/non-rejected image must be highlighted better.

Gilles Caulier
Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2011-02-11 12:41:16 UTC
Apple Aperture "Pick Label" :

From this article : 

http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/02/15/flagging-and-labeling-photos-video-and-audio-in-aperture-3/

...look this screen-shot where "flags" are also "Pick Label", as LightRoom :

http://aperture.maccreate.com/files/2010/02/media_1256598825009.png

I don't like this solution to annotate icon-view items, which is very similar than LightRoom...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2011-02-11 12:45:49 UTC
Apple Aperture "Pick Label" :

From this documentation : 

http://bibblelabs.com/products/bibble5/learn/webhelp/index.html?labels_ratings_and_tags.html

We can see that Bibble use a similar way than Aperture and Lightroom to apply Pick Label on the left side of rating stars from icon-view.

Again, i don't like this solution : not enough visible...

Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2011-02-14 18:17:42 UTC
Wake up guy... I need you viewpoint here...

I started to implement "Pick Labels" feature. There will 4 pick labels available :

1 Image not tagged with a pick
2 Image rejected (for future deletion)
3 Image in pending validation (typically not yet checked)
4 Image accepted (verified and valided)

On icon view 2/3/4 will show a colored flag (2 => red, 3 => yellow, and 4 => green)

For each value, i need to know the best Keyboard shorcut to use. Here, i need your experience with other photo management programs

Thanks in advance

Move Rating filter from statusbar to Tags Filter view from right sidebar.
As Rating is considerated as a Labels (like Pick or Color), it need to be moved near Pick/Color Label filters.

Note that i plan to move all filters from status bar to right Sidebar and rename "Tag Filters" as "Filters", and to add
2 buttons on status bar :
"Reset" to clean all active filters
"Settings" (or something like that) to switch on "Filters" panel from right sidebar.

The advantage to use "Filters" panel from right side bar is to be able to host more filters in the future.
Status bar is limited in space to host more settings. There are a lots of whishes about this subject in bugzilla.

Gilles,

Sorry for not giving feedback earlier I am very busy these days and I have digikam git version only on one of my computers.
Your implementation of color labels and pick labels is very nice. I like the choice of the colors and the icons. I think the widget to assign labels and to filter labels are very nice. I like the fact that you can easily see the shortcuts for color labels and pick labels in the context menu.

Small bugs:

1/The shortcuts for stars are missing in the context menu.

2/In preview mode, using the context menu if you try to assign a pick label you get a color label instead. If you use the context menu of the thumbnail view or the sidebar it works fine.

3/In the context menu, in the recently assigned tags menu you can see the color labels and pick labels; I think it should not be the case.

Thanks Julien to review my code...

1/ The shortcuts appears when you click on start. Yes it's a little bit different than color/Pick Labels behavior...

2/ fixed with commit 
http://commits.kde.org/digikam/078c9e4a1442351e1b855deef83a7cba0005b20a

3/ Right. It must ignore internal DB tags.

Please take a look to:

1/ album icon view Filters where Pick and Color Labels have been added.
2/ Advanced Search tool where Pick and Color Labels have been added.
