Gilles Caulier >>there is no KAction to call "New Tags..." dialog. >This can be a simple problem to add shortcut to Tags/New... menu entry. Andi ? I could swear we had a shortcut before? But now it is gone. I would simply use CTRL+T for that, if it is not taking already? Andi Ok CTRL+T is a bad idea :-) It is used in more places. In general the Tag->New... Dialog is not very useful to add existing tags, as Mik already said. In another bugreport (#bug 114465) there were some good suggestions, like having a dialog that behaves like KMails filtering (I like this idea). You will have a popup dialog with all tags in it (like we have on the right sidebar now). By simply typing (no need for an input widget like lineedit or something like that) the list gets filtered. you can then select the tag, hit Enter and it is assigned (or removed if it was assigned before). ESC will close this dialog again, and some other shortcut (maybe CTRL+BACKSPACE) will reset the filtering, so that you can start from the beginning. I also like the way you tag in F-Spot. Just type will you're in iconview, and tags become auto-completed. Multiple tags are assigned with a comma separated list. This is very fast. Andi #3 - but it is not usable to assign many tags at once - unless digiKam will recognize ";" or "," to assign previous tag and start from the beginning. #1 - after entering existing tag name in "new tag" dialog I see another dialog with info: "This tag already exists, Continue, Cancel". If digiKam goes with one dialog approach it should be possible to disable dialog with error log. Have you tried the F-Spot approach? For me it is quite the best system. You enter a tag, then press TAB to autocomplete, an ',' is automatically entered and you can continue to type. This is very fast. And the nice thing: If you want to assign this tag combination to many images afterwards, just use copy & paste. Yes, the F-Spot approach seems to be very handy. The good thing about this approach is that you constantly see which tags are already assigned. In digiKam we must first set the toggleButton to see already assigned tags. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 114465 *** Fixed with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114465 |
