[Geeqie-devel] Evidence based photo selection
Hello, I use Geeqie to select photographs from very large collections, such as the thousands I might take on a shoot. As it stands, run through the photographs in a directory, deleting the ones that I don't think should make it to the next stage of the selection process. I usually do this a number of times, using different directories, until I have a small handful that I like. Because I the selection process is subjective, I add safety measures such as copying the photographs to a new directory for each run, or running through a copy of the same directory twice so that I can merge the selection pools of two identical runs. This is a tedious process, and prone to errors. I would like to suggest the following features: * A scorecard for each photo that can be incremented or decremented using keyboard shortcuts. Two obvious shortcuts would be - and =. After pressing a key, a notification area could display the score. * A way of sorting on the list of photographs by score. I could then change my workflow to: * Go into a random, repeated, slideshow of a directory of photographs. * Run through the slideshow multiple times, scoring each photograph with either a single positive or single negative vote, or perhaps none. * Sort the directory of photographs by score. * Delete all those photographs bellow a certain threshold. What do you think? Perhaps this is already possible?

In Edit sub-menu in the context menu for a picture or thumbnail there are only 3 entries for configured editors (GIMP, gqview and gThumb). I even deleted my geeqierc.xml, but without any result.

Perhaps you may have to wait until Vladimir gets back from holiday. I just do a standard autogen/make/sudo-make-install for geeqie. The symlink plugins are in the .../geeqie/trunk/plugins sub-directory and the installation process seems to copy them to /usr/local/share/geeqie/applications. Perhaps you can figure something out from the configuration files. I am sorry I can't be of more help to you with this.

I usually do this a number of times, using different directories, until I have a small handful that I like. I do something similar, and agree with your notions. Beyond that, I also want to tag similar photos so I can flip between them, and they aren't always adjacent. I see the disk is cheap point, but I like to get rid of junk. So having a way to do the marking/sorting without deleting, and then flip through the list that will be deleted, and then do it (or not) sounds great. pgpFrpeucYk8V.pgp Description: PGP signature -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

I have similar needs but a different workflow to you. I use a collection to store any images that immediately interest me (in my experience, if a photo doesn't grab me immediately, then it won't do for some time, maybe months). I'm not too selective at this stage and tend to include marginal images. I then work on the collection rather than the image directory. I'm wholely against deleting images because tastes change, and more than once I've idly browsed through an old set and stumbled across something that I really like now.
