Description robspamm 2016-07-31 19:04:47 UTC

The photo tagging workflow from this blog post: https://www.digikam.org/node/641 does not work anymore. 

These problems make fast tagging impossible and the workflow from digikam 4.x should be reenabled.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
There are a couple of problems:

- When the cursor is in the typing box for the tag, pressing up/down or page up/down does not switch the image. 
- Typing the name with the wrong case first switches to the "Create new tag" instead of the first tag match (with case mismatch for the first char), although the tag is shown
- Assigning a tag does not clear the text box for the next tag
- Switching on "Show only assigned tags" ( translated from the german version) does not refresh when a tag is assigned, but not saved

I updated to digikam 5.1, the search line is now cleared after adding a tag. Still all other points apply, whereas it is possible to set a shortcut for the next image in the digikam settings.

Comment 3 Jan Ott 2016-10-04 08:08:00 UTC

As bug 369833 is marked as a duplicate of this bug (sorry for duplicating ...) I would like to add a more precise description of the problems from my point of view:

It is about part B "The keyboard way" of the aforementioned blog post https://www.digikam.org/node/641
Steps 7 and 10 of the following steps described there do not work in Digikam 5.2:

Quote:
1 select an album
2 switch to "view image"-view (the bigger the picture, the better you can recognize the people,
you want to tag)
3 switch the right sideview to "Caption/Tags" and select tab "Tags"
4 click in the uppermost input box, which shows the text: "Enter new tag here..."
5 look for the leftmost person, you have not tagged yet
6 start typing a few letters of the desired tagname (You have to start with the first letters in your
tag name. There is no "mid word matching".)
-> you will see a list of possible tags appear that shrinks with every letter you add to the input box
7 if the list is reduced enough, use TAB to select the desired tag from this list
8 hit ENTER to assign this tag to your picture
9 if there are more persons, you want to tag, go to step 5 again
10 if all persons on this image have been tagged, hit PAGE_DOWN to go to the next image and
resume with step 5
End quote

Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2018-06-04 17:00:14 UTC

I close the bug now. All 10 points of comment 3 work. Instead of the TAB key you have to use Cursor key down or up.
