[Feature Request] Multi-User Rating

[daniel-ina]

Good Afternoon,

 

I am interested in a feature where each user can rate a photo and either choose to see their own ratings or the org's average rating for the photo. I think it would be great because ratings often are subjective and different teams at our office need assets for different purposes.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

 

I don't find user dependent tags or rating in the current version.

Maybe this can be a roundabout workaround:

Define a custom tag type INTEGER. Talk to all user and define that each user has a maximum of 5 points. Now each user can add his points to the existing one in the custom tag. Because there is no check to avoid multiple votes one has to trust the people. The user can write down their points in the comment tag to remember what they did and if they have already assigned their points.

If you want to sophisticate this procedure: I guess it's possible to use a script for the ExifTool to read the values of the custom tag, to translate them and to write a rating tag. E.g. 5 user, max. 5 point each. Define ranges: 0, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25. Depending on the number of points, e.g. 17, the rating is 4 stars.

This action can run each night to get actual results in the rating tag. But you have to run the "Rescan Folders" action. For big number of items it is a performance problem.

Maybe a plug-in can better and much faster handle this procedure to translate points in rating tag.
