2211 - Custom Tag format "Link"

[Uwe]

Hello,

how can I use the format "link"? A created tag doesn't appear in the Tags Panel, only in the Properties Panel.

Does "link" just mean a link to a file on the server or any kind of URL? The latter sounds very interesting to me. Over time I found several reasons for storing URLs in tags for an image.

Hi guys, 

 

It should be a clickable URL. For example, an URL to the this same file published on a client's website , social media or in an online store. It can only be displayed n the properties panel. 

 

Kind regards

Daria

Hi Daria,

thanks, what I don't understand is: on a web site of a client is somewhere an URL pointing to this photo. How does the photo in my catalog gets the URL?

Uwe, I assume manually.  Daria, correct?

In fact I am doing so since several years,by copying and pasting the URL immediately after uploading. Then, I wrote a program which opens the browser, if it finds valid URLs in one or mor of those tags. 

I can imagine something automatic only, if the Daminion client would have a function to upload images to some Web sites. However, for Google photos, my program uses Google APIs to search my account based on the file name. Getting this to work was quite complex, but it does work automatically now.

Now I can see it. I didn't see that there was another input field. Possibly a problem with the contrast on the screen.

Hi Wilfried, yes, this is correct, the URL should be input manually

Hello,

Also, it could be the link to a local folder or network source. 

For example: C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\Pictures    or   \\192.168.XX.XX\Storage\Photo
