Feature Request: Top Level Tag Numbering

[[email protected]]

Hi Murat - just wanted to request a feature for those of us that use Hierarchical keywords/tags... coming from the Idimager world, I am able to choose a "top level" tag and see all the images that appear under that tag even if that tag itself is not assigned directly to any images. For example:

 

 

So, in this example, by click the "dot" next to "Baseball Game", I am able to see all images assigned to children under that tag - even though I have not assigned baseball game to the images directly but instead assigned "Pawtucket Red Sox".

 

When I pull in similar images that have hierarchical tagging into Daminion, choosing the top level (ie: Places) doesn't show all the child tags unless that tag is also assigned:

 

 

I would love the ability to instead be able to also choose in this example USA and see all images that have either USA, Massachusettes, Sandwich OR greenbriar assigned as I can in Idimager. Even if the "dot" method didn't work and an "Alt/Ctrl" Click on the dot was required... I think it important to allow the users to choose a top level tag and see all children under that level without having to click each sub-level tag.

 

Please let me know your thoughts... and please forgive me if there is a way to do this that I am unaware of.

 

BTW: the software is looking fantastic! Keep up the good work. :)

Andy, thanks for the suggestion. BTW this is one of the most requested feature.

 

We plan to add it in the upcoming Daminion versions (I hope on the next one).

I would like:

When the category tree shows all folders, the counter and a click shows only the directly assigned pictures. When the category tree is not open, then i see the amount of the pictures of the top level Category in the counter and i get all pictures, when i click.

I remember your request about this approach. Very interesting idea.

 

What if a tag is collapsed and I need to see media items that were assigned to selected tag sub-values? Should the necessity to expand it will be convenient? We need to test it on a Prototype.

 

To better explain your request for other user, I've listed your previous request below:

When i have a main category, such as animals with one picture tagged.

And i have two subcategories, dogs, with 5 pictures and cats, with 3 pictures.

 

Then i think, it would be better, when the categorie-tree is collapsed, that the counter of animals is 9 and when i click the radiobutton then i get the 9 Pictures (one Animals, five dogs and three cats).

When the categorie-tree is not collapsed, then i see animals 1, dogs 5, cats 3 and i get only the one animal picture, when i click the radiobutton animals.

Sounds very good and intuitive.

Hi,

 

I wouldn't work in this way - my opinion. Either I assign the photo to its own category/hierarchy level or I have to define additional a common level/category for all of the other photos. I your exampel I would define a subcategory "common" or "others" under "animals". Then I don't need a different counter handling for collapesed and non collapsed hierarchy.

 

Regards, Uwe

Perhaps it would be the best thing, when the user can choose the behaviour in options.

What about displaying by default all the tags. The counter and a click shows all assigned pictures (directly and to sub-tags).

 

And add an option to context menu to hide the pictures assigned to sub-values, like we did in PicaJet:

 

 

In this way we keep the simplicity while adding an extra option. Plus the most commonly used scenario (show files assigned to tags and its sub-values) is accessible by one click.

I like this approach Murat - I think the majority of folks would agree that if you click an item, you would want to see that item PLUS all subcats by default.. if I only wanted to see items assigned to that item, then either a sub-menu option as described or perhaps an add'l CTRL+click mechanism would work very well.
