Lightroom have developed a nice Digital Asset management tool but they want you to pay a subscription for the rest of your life. The only subscription I like is Netflix.

I have never used lightroom hence the question. Which exact search features are missing from darktable? I find collect images module more than sufficient where you can manipulate various and/or conditions to search/filter images. With image data in proper SQL database, searching images should be relatively easy to handle and darktable already allows many of the searches. If there is data in database, it can be queried, if it's not there, we can log feature requests for better cataloging. Personally, I believe collect images module is least noticed module and many don't see other features like tag hierarchy etc available. I myself was unaware and started writing my own code until someone kindly pointed existing features and told me how to use it. I did face a challenge of collecting the images in portrait mode, but quick look at database and help from others got me on the track. I believe data is there, but priorities are on improving images, not on searching images which can be achieved by external tools. Only gotcha here is may be darktable needs to be publish official schema or API so that other tools can use it.

It is not a big issue to me but one of the advantages of Lightroom is its ability to search images based on text or extensive metadata including camera, lens, ISO etc. The editing capabilities of Darktable is more important to me than the digital asset management tools, but I guess it would be nice to have both. ________________________________ From: KOVÁCS István <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 16 January 2021 7:32 PM To: Niranjan Rao <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]> Cc: Darktable Users List <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]>'m Subject: Re: [darktable-user] Best way to tag image from command line? You may not need to tag them. Try this: On the lighttable, using the 'collect images' module => 'hamburger' (presets) menu -> portrait, landscape, or square. Those are just predefined filters using metadata -> capture details -> aspect ratio (less than, greater than or equal to 1). I'm on the master branch, but I think this is available with 3.4 as well.
