Description _ 2023-07-05 09:28:05 UTC

Tag suggestions could be slighly more sophisticated and there's some recently changed tag behavior which could be bug.

When writing, most likely SUGGESTION could be filled to input while typing and selected whenever enter is pressed. This is in different ways significantly faster and prevents mistyping. Also suggestions have too short memory and are too fast forgotten. Feature should have additional count of most used tags which would make such tags appear at top more easily (and stay there by default if no other short term preference appears).

NEW TAGS are not anymore automatically added to images but has to be separately searched and ticked after adding them. I think this is bug and not intentionally changed behavior? This is also troublesome if you slightly mistype existing tag, new one is added, but nothing is added to image which causes data loss as you may think to have written complete existing tag and after pressing enter can't reasonably notice what happened.

I can't reproduce a problem here, the popup window is a completer, write text-> cursor down to the appropriate tag and enter. An inline addition is not possible in conjunction with the popup, we would have to add it via a hack. However, in previous bug reports, the inline completer was rejected by users. New tags are also automatically assigned and given a tick, then hit apply. The behavior hasn't changed.

Worked correctly when re-tested (tick was added to new tag and assigned), however I've experienced contrary multiple times and scrolled the newly added tag to manually add the tick and also found mistyped duplicate tags without any images assigned, so there's inconsistency somewhere.

Such A Shame,

What's about this file using current 8.2.0 AppImage Linux bundle ? It's
reproducible ?
