I'd like to think that something like this could work. I'm not absolutely convinced that the list with checkboxes is even necessary, though; perhaps we could just have the text-based list with bolding, at least as a first implementation. I've created a ticket "possibly combine Add Tags and Modify Tags commands" at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2382 . That will be a good place for further discussion about this. adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
