Hi, until I came to DT I .. .. took my fotos as JPG .. edit it with GIMP .. administrate it in *Shotwell*
>From this time I have many "tags" related to my fotos in the Shotwell-Database. In Shotwell you can quickly add new tags but it is very limited in searching for this tags (no and/or). Nested tags are possible by drag&drop (one tag on another) but Shotwell often crashes by doing this. You know why, when you take a look at the database-structure. I wanted to import the tags to Darktable (1.6.9) and found a solution from Antoine Beaupre in http://redmine.darktable.org/issues/9461 . I found this usefull for "Single Tags" but it dont work for nested tags. I meen thomething like: persons|family|Dad persons|family|Mom persons|neighbours |John places|hometown|my House places|hometown|dads house holiday|2011 holiday|2012|summer holiday|2012|winter In the Database of Darktable the whole tag-string is assigned only once. You can find parts by substrings. In Shotwell (for faster display?) each step of nesting is assigned to a foto, like: Persons --> Picture 4711 Persons|Family --> Picture 4711 Persons|Family|Dad --> Picture 4711 They dont use a N:N-relation but a "List" in a database-column grrrrr. I worked to get the Python-Script handle "nested tags" and reduce it to the last step of nesting. Maybe another foto is tagged with "Places|Hometown" only which then is a different tag in Darktable. It worked for me to import the tags of 30.000 fotos although this was the first time I coded in python. You can find my Script here: http://www.fotodrachen.de/download/Shotwell2Darktable.zip Feel free to put it on http://redmine.darktable.org/issues (I'm not registered). But - sorry - it will speek german to you. I dont know if this will work with DT 2.x. -- Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list Darktable-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users
