Om denne vejledning

Overført og tilpasset fra Peter Albrechts artikelwww.digikam.org, 21 januar 2012

I de to år forfatteren har brugt digiKam har han altid søgt en måde at mærke personer i sine fotos på en hurtig og let måde.

Mærk mange fotos ad gangen

Hvordan man gør

  1. skift til miniaturevisning (du skal kunne se mere end et billede ad gangen)
  2. ændr størrelses af miniaturerne til 256 pixels (du skal kunne genkende personerne på fotoerne)
  3. Billedtekst/mærker vist i højre side (klik på knappen ) og vælg fanebladet <menuchioce>Mærker</menuchoice>
  4. vælg det første billede og start med personen til venstre i dette billede
  5. hold Ctrl-tasten nede mens du vælger alle de andre billeder, hvor denne person optræder

  1. søg efter det tilsvarende mærke i højre sidepanel, vælg det og klik på Anvend (du klan aktivere Bekræft ikke når ændringer anvendes i højre sidepanel i digiKam-indstillingerne Diverse for at slippe for dialogen Gem ændringer?

  1. if there are more persons in picture one, then select this picture again go to step 5, while looking for the next leftmost person.
  2. if you have all the persons in picture one, select picture two and look again for the leftmost person, you have not tagged yet, and go to step 5. (toggling the button tags already assigned in the lower right corner of the Tags tab, is very useful here)

This way you go through all your pictures. In the beginning you have to tag a lot of people, but coming to the last pictures, most people will already be tagged and you can fast jump to the next picture.

Usability

This process is good, if you have a high number of photos proportional to the amount of different persons. If you have lots of different tags in your database, it's worth to think about substituting step 6 with the keyboard way, which is coming up next.

The keyboard way

There is a famous bug-report at BKO According to it's number of 127 comment posts, it is the most impressive bug report, the author has ever seen.

Information

This bug report holds the secret of a tagging technique which gives you full keyboard-only tagging power.


How-To

And that's the way you go:

  1. select an album
  2. select the View Image -> View Image menu item (the bigger the picture, the better you can recognize the people, you want to tag)
  3. switch the right sideview to Caption/Tags (click the icon) and select the tab Tags
  4. click in the uppermost input box, which shows the text: Enter new tag here... (see the red rectangle in the following screenshot)
  5. look for the leftmost person, you have not tagged yet
  6. start typing a few letters of the desired tagname (You have to start with the first letters in your tag name. There is no "mid word matching".) You will see a list of possible tags appear, that shrinks with every letter you add to the input box
  7. if the list is reduced enough, use Tab to select the desired tag from this list
  8. hit Enter to assign this tag to your picture
  9. if there are more persons, you want to tag, go to step 5 again
  10. if all persons on this image have been tagged, hit PAGE_DOWN to go to the next image and resume with step 5

Keyboard focus will always stay in the tag input box. So you can keep your hands on the keyboard all the time and tag very fast. As mentioned above, you can enable do not confirm when appying changes from right sidebar in digiKam settings to get rid of the Save Changes?-Dialog.

Usability

This process is most useful, if you have a high number of different persons proportional to the amount photos. And especially steps 6 to 8 are very handy, if you have lot of tags, you don't want to scroll through by hand.

Keyboard shortcuts for specific tags

If you have certain tags, you use very often, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. I did this with "places/myHome", which is assigned to Ctrl + Shift + H.

But there is already a nice tutorial at: Scribbles And Snaps (Transcribed here to Assign Keyboard Shortcuts to Tags in digiKam)

So I'll keep this section short.

Some stats about the primary author's digiKam usage

To get a relation for phrases like "lots of tags", here some numbers:

  • 206 different tags (in multilevel-hierarchical order: places, people, other)
  • 24,580 tag assignments (assigned in the last 2 years)
  • 25,687 pictures in digiKam database (collected in 10 years)

The author was using digiKam 2.5.0 at the moment of writing, but the features mentioned above have been introduced in earlier version. If you are curious about, just have a look at the corresponding NEWS-file in the git repository: DigiKam git repository, e.g.: What's new in DigiKam 2.0.0

Final words

Since the keyboard method is new to the primary author, he can't tell about long term experience. But chances are high that the most efficient way of tagging will be a mixture of the three methods mentioned above, depending on the situation.
