Hello dear users out there, I recently added two new buttons to the tagging module, one to import and one to export the list of tags to Lightroom compatible text files. That should allow getting one of those vocabulary lists from the Internet and use it for tagging. You still have to be careful to not mistype a tag name, hit enter and assign that by accident (at least for now) but it's a first step. So if you are in need of a system like that or want to try it, please do so and give feedback if anything doesn't work.
CAVEAT: Make a backup of your ~/.config/darktable/library.db first as this might very well create thousands of new tags that are not fun to manually delete afterwards. What is currently missing is: - explicit category support – not sure if there is anything special to do - support for fixed order of tags (~ in the txt file) - support for synonyms. It's a great thing but not possible with the current way darktable handles tags. I will definitely add that eventually but not for now. Oh, and the quick tagging (ctrl-t) box should now also propose tags with the typed part anywhere but the start. So having a tag like "Animals|Mammals|Dog" and typing "dog" it should be in the list. For reference and an idea where to get tag lists here is the commit message commit 4129a3065732a47bb107fba52536f0d2119c8931 Author: Tobias Ellinghaus <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Sun Sep 25 15:58:10 2016 +0200 Commit: Tobias Ellinghaus <[email protected]> CommitDate: Sun Sep 25 15:58:10 2016 +0200 [tags] Allow to import/export tags This is useful when using a closed vocabulary for tagging images. A way to disable creating new tags is needed still, but this at least allows to get tags into dt. There are some free tag lists available on the internet, for example - Some CC-BY-SA licensed lists: https://lightroom-keyword-list-project.blogspot.de/ - Not sure about the license: http://workshops.bigsunphotography.com/news/28-free-lightroom-keyword-library-download Google might find more. Just make sure that the txt file uses the Lightroom format as described here: http://www.photo-keywords.com/keyword-list-format.php Thanks Tobias
