Because I did'nt use anymore, I use CAPTION/TAGs.

This file cannot be closed as well.

Problem still exist, and something must be done.

Possible solutions :

- Remove entries from contextual menu (Assign Tags and Remove Tags options). Use Captions & Tags instead.
- For Remove tags option, let's as well because it's generally a short list of tags. For Assign Tags option only show most used tags from Database in menu, and add an option named "More Tags..." to switch on Caption and Tags side bar and give focus to Tags tree view.

Marcel, Andi ?

Maybe remove the option Assign/Remove Tag and leave the job for CAPTION/TAGs, 
also Assign/Remove Tag option only possible to insert one tag per operation, when I use CAPTION/Tags I can insert multiple tags at a time.

In general the idea is good, but what happens if you never used tags before? Will this menu be empty?

Ricardson is right as well, in this menu you can only assign one tag a time, you need to constantly re-open the context menu, if you want to assign more tags.
So I would (in the end) think it is better to remove these context menu entries completely.

I said it before, but I guess we should really take a look at how F-Spot tags images. I like the approach very much, it is super fast, no need to move the mouse and scroll through a big tag list (and maybe even expand tag trees). You just type while viewing the images.

Andi,

Can you take a screenshot or a small video demo ?

Gilles

Yes, but not now. I will be away in an hour for the rest of the day, I can take a video in the evening though.

*** Bug 262562 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

i would prefer at flat textbox for tags: [tag1,_tag2,_tag3________], where they can be edited inline (best: in gallery view). i think its too complicated to use menus, when you want to tag a large collection of different images. the fewer clicks, the better the solution. how about a list of tags (abbreviated) under the gallery-image, and on click the list is replaces by a textbox with comma seperated tags?

Only show recent assigned tags list to "Assign Tag" context menu entry

This patch only show recent assigned tags list to "Assign Tag" context menu entry.

If no recent tags have been assigned, context menu is just with a context message :

If there are recent assigned tags, the list is displayed :

To compare, this is the current behavior, displaying whole tags list, bloating screen and unsuitable in this case :

SVN commit 1215355 by cgilles:

Into context pop-up menu, "Assign Tag" action will show recently assigned tags list instead the whole tags list which can 
bloat entire screen if tags collection is huge.
A new option named "More Tags" can be used to switch on tags tree view from sidebar and give focus to tags list as well.
