It would be nice to be able to group tags into sets. Some image databases have such predefined sets e.g. in 'kimdaba' you can find categories like 'places', 'people', 'events'. I think it wold be enough to give a possibility of creating categories for tags and in every place where a pull-down or right-click menu contains a list of tags change it to two-level list.

Having more then -teen tags would be much more easy to manage with categories.

you can create subtags for tags, isn't that sufficient?

Comment 2 Ryszard Lach 2005-12-29 21:57:33 UTC

Yes, it is, thank you for the suggestion.
There is one drawback: when I create a subtag of another tag naming the parent tag like a category (e.g. "places") and then highlight the parent tag - the browser shows all images of itself and all its children, but all in all, it is pretty fast, so that doesn't hurt so much.
