SUMMARY I would like to see a slightly optimized view for tags in Digikams main thumbnail view. Specifically, - multirow display (more room for tags) so tags are not cut off (maybe with max. three rows, or a configurable number) and - inverted colors for the tag text (so you can see whether a "," belongs to the tag or separates two tags) I think this makes a lot of sense and this kind of tag display is also in use in many other apps, even in input fields, see e.g. Stack Overflow or Apple apps. What do you think?
I don't understand this report. Are you talking about tags tree-view ? Can you make a mockup please ? Gilles Caulier
I believe that we already have bug reports for the display of the tags in the thumbnails. In the right sidebar you can see which tags are included in the image. Space is limited in the thumbnail. I also don't like changing colors, also with regard to the user using different color themes. Maik
Why not to use the TableView mode with the customized raw showing tags list (and others properties) ? Gilles Caulier
Maik, I just take a look and in TableView mode, DK properties do not include Tags... snif... Gilles
IMHO: Table view is a huge waste of screen space, especially for widescreen displays. (See also the geolocation editor, but that's another bug.) The main reason is that thumbnails have a certain minimum height, but most of the text has a really tiny height. In addition, in the current 7.0-beta3 the thumbnail has a really large top and bottom border / padding.

Jens, In all cases, please try my last commit to see if it can help in your workflow. I will run this evening the Windows bundles updates, and tomorrow morning the Linux AppImage... Gilles Caulier

Jens, Definitively, a multi-row model to show tags will be only managed by the TableView, not the IconView. For this last one free space is really limited. This is why TableView mode exists. So, we cannot easily apply a new model based on rows over IconView Gilles Caulier
Fixed with my 2 last commit.
