Hi,
I'm looking at adding a full metadata interface to darktable, I've
already posted to the developer mailing list
<https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04528.html> and
made a pull request on github
<https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/pull/2819> about this but
I'm looking for some input from users. So if you would use this, what
sorts of metadata fields would you want to edit? How many photos would
you edit at a time? And how would you select these (manually or via
collections)? Do you have any other suggestions?
I usually use description, tags, creator, rights. Description tends to
get longer for me... I tend to name the pictures after the date.
(YYYYMMDD-MMSS). Some times I am struggling with pulling this from EXIF
- specifically when I have to offset the date +- 1h or more because of
incorrect clock. Not sure if it is possible but if I change the date I
would like it to carry forward. I understand modifying RAW is not a good
idea and agree with it. But if the info is recorded in the XMP and the
user can elect to read the XMP it would be nice.
I miss having keyboard navigation in the tag area - for example left
arrow to collapse branch, right to expand...
I regularly tag and include metadata for 500 - 900 images at a time.
Currently working on 10k so I may end up with 2000 or more keepers (that
will have to be tagged)
Currently - I don't think there is an easy way to copy / paste all
metadata or few fields from one image to another (or many others). If
the fields increase - it would be nice to have such.
I've had cases when by mistake I overwritten tags / metadata on
considerable number of images. Having undo / redo feature would be very
good.... actually very very very good.
Not sure if I am understanding correctly but new interface - do you mean
a completely separate are from lightable? Or still part of lightable?
There are other items that can be considered - like better visual
identification what is being tagged / edited but this can also crowd too
much lighttable...
Thanks,
Sam
