Bug ID: 414424
Summary: Wishlist: Item count for tag tree is not very
intuitive. Maybe show number of total items and
subtags separately?
Product: digikam
Version: 6.4.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

Ok, this is a suggestion based on bug #399338 that I reported myself a while
ago.
When you enable the item count for the tree view, the total number of items
next to each Tag is not very intuitive. Apparently, it not only counts the
number of elements with that tag, but also the number of elements contained in
each sub-tag, regardless of the duplicates. Therefore, the total number is
usually higher than the total existing elements.
For example, I have a tag "Germany" with 6 subtags (and one of them, in turn,
contains 8 subtags). When collapsed, Germany shows the number 412, but in
reality, only 149 pictures exist in that tag structure. So 412 is the number of
pictures that contain that tag, plus the number of pictures that contain each
subtag. Apparently this is done on purpose, but I still find it a bit
counterintuitive. In some cases I have some very detailed tag trees with show
tens of thousands of pictures, when in reality they only contain 2000 pictures
at most.
So my proposal: Why not show only the total number of elements contained in the
tree structure (so, the same number at the bottom of the screen), and also
indicate the number of subtags? For instance "Germany (149, 14 subtags)"
instead of "Germany (412)". Or maybe even just the first number, if you don't
to clutter the interface.
What do you think? I don't know if that has been previously discussed and there
is an consensus on this topic, but I wouldn't mind exploring other options.
Thanks for your time.
