Hi,
I just moved from F-Spot to Shotwell (import went ok, with 2 small
hickups which I will describe in another message).
I really like the speed of Shotwell, a big improvement on F-Spot!
However (there always is one isn't it ;) ): I would like to be able to
filter on tags like I could in F-Spot. In F-Spot, tags are hierarchical,
but not quite like Shotwell implements it.
For example, consider the following, very imaginative, tag hierarchy:
Parent
\-> Child A
\-> Grand Child
\-> Child B
Photos tagged with 'Child A' do not automatically obtain the tag
'Parent'. So if you filter on Parent, you don't automatically get the
photos tagged 'Child A' or 'Child B' or 'Grand Child', unless those
photos are also explicitly tagged with 'Parent'.
Shotwells implementation differs from this (child tags automatically
obtain the parent tags). That's not particularly good or bad, if however
Shotwell would also make it possible to filter like F-Spot does: filter
all photos tagged with 'Parent' and only 'Parent', meaning: exclude all
photos tagged with 'Child A/B' or 'Grand Child'. This is handy for
numerous reasons. For example when you started out with just a 'Family'
tag a while ago and now you want to make that a bit more specific, so
you start tagging a bunch of 'Dad' and 'Mom' photos within the 'Family'
photos. And now you want to search for your brother 'John' and start
tagging him, but you don't want to go through the whole bunch of photos
already tagged with 'Dad' and 'Mom' within 'Family'.
Any chance this could be made possible? I don't know anything about
Shotwells implementation, but it would seam that making this available
via the Saved Search feature is within reason?
Thanks,
Michiel
