Description Johannes Wienke 2010-07-11 15:19:34 UTC

Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

If I already have a tag Bielefeld in my collection and then import photos that have tags in their metadata which may contain e.g. "bielefeld", then I end up with two tags in the digikam tag tree, Bielefeld and bielefeld. I would vote to ignore the case when importing tags from metadata. In general it may be helpful to do a kind of fuzzy search to prevent having several tags with nearly the same name and only e.g. a typo. This would probably mean to get some user feedback.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

There was not that much feedback on this request ;-)
It would require some minor changes to TagsCache, possibly accepting a Qt::CaseSensitive enum. Fuzzy search can probably not be done automatically, only with user feedback, which requires large changes.

Comment 2 Marcel Wiesweg 2012-09-29 11:47:03 UTC

Should come with configurability mentioned in the other feature request.
