I am working on this. My plan for right now is to implement it as a simple hack on top of the keywords system. I could use a keyword "score:6" for storage, and then it'd just need buttons with keyboard mappings for incrementing or decrementing the score. > * A way of sorting on the list of photographs by score. As Vlad suggested, this will be more difficult to do properly. It might be possible to come up with a nice hack that works well; we'll see. I haven't yet poked at the sorting code. > 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. There is a random slideshow, though I'm not sure how it works. With Klaus's patch for adding a keyword, you might be able to 1) Go into random slideshow 2) Do the scoring thing 3) Sort by score 4) Add a "level 4" or whatever keyword to distinguish the ones that have made it through at least 4 rounds of selections 5) Search for the "level 4" tag, or link it to a Mark, or something to filter on that. 6) Repeat Of course, there's a lot of this picture left to be filled in as of right now. --xsdg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
