It should still be possible to merge those commands. This is how such a add/modify tags could behave: 1) Shows a list of tags of the selected photo(s) (with active checkboxes) in a dialog window, and a single line text field with a comma, separated list of tags. We automatically, append "," and focus in that text field. Adding one or multiple tags simply means to start typing them. Keyboard lovers can edit the list of tags in the text field. Mouse lovers can de-select tags to remove them. 2) If multiple photos are selected, basically behave the same, but have common tags be bold, and tags that are only on a subset of photos nonbold/italic. Adding a new tag adds them to all photos, removing an italic tag, removes them for all that have that one. This allows adding tags to all selected photos, removing common tags, and rename tags on all selected photos and would still IMHO be more intuitive than the current solution. (It took me some time to find out why modify tags wouldn't work when I had multiple photos selected) -- View this message in context: http://shotwell.3510.www.nabble.com/Shotwell-Add-or-modify-tags-tp16798p18866.html Sent from the Shotwell mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
