Description Jo 2020-09-19 08:19:32 UTC

SUMMARY
Tagging features 

OBSERVED RESULT
Importing pictures from many sources may add tons of unique, useless, spamming tags 

EXPECTED RESULT
I'd love to be able to delete tags with only 1 or 2 hits. 
Tagging is a valuable tool and adds meaning to cryptic names coming from the camera /web. Basically im asking for some tools to facilitate the tagging process 


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

macOS: 10.14.6

Digikam also could consider between imported and user-assigned tags in Digikam. 
(e. G. "imported tags" would be tags i added with older, other software) 
I've made use of tagging for many years, some are obsolete or minor, with less hits. 

Removing useless tags removes the clutter and helps me keeping digital asset management meaningful

So, if you understand well, you want to be able to review new tags found in imported image and select right ones to be registered in database. Right ?

Yes, also. Reviewing new tags would be a nice option to improve tag selection 

Usually I'm not very fond with imported tags, so I trash most of them if not all.
I belive tagging is a bit subjective, and a work in progress if you ask my opinion.
