Thank you, but I was thinking darktable allowing to select a list of images based on SQL.

    It looks darktable does support most of these under collect images
    module. Some like City/State etc can be easily implemented.

    I think easiest way for developers might be to provide a raw SQL
    functionality. This way people can help each other with queries
    and extend the search functionality.

    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.

    Hi Kofa,
          I am using windows 10 with V3.4 and do not see any of the
    mentioned presets in lighttable. 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.

    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.
