It is planned to create a platform independent resource file export and import functionality. One user exports some resources to a package (tags associated with resources are also stored in the package). Other user can import resources from the package together with their assigned tags. > > I'm sure you have a plan to provide tag renaming -- this would be > helpful for i18n, allowing a person to easily rename the original tag > to something in their preferred language. eg 'stippling' -> 'miksiĝi > desino' > Yes, it will surely be possible. > Do you plan to implement NOT filtering? as in 'dithering -diamond' > filtering for patterns tagged 'dithering' that are not tagged > 'diamond'. > I haven't thought of it yet but it seems a good idea. Also, currently there is only AND search in tag queries. Maybe it would be good to add even more flexibility to advanced users. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
