Number one for me is DT's abilty to edit. Any ability to search for and
find my images through lighttable is a bonus. But this should never be
at the cost of making DT a bloated program. I wonder if it would be
possible to improve the *sort by* funtionality of DT to include
keywords. I am not a developer so I don't understand what is easy and
practical to impliment.
Agreed.
Doing some (amateur) programming myself, I know that sorting tends to be
costly. But filtering not as much, and SQLite is... lite and fast. So
using tags and such as mentioned, to filter, not sort, is probably best.
As to performance.
I have "only" some 10-20k photos, I am an amateur and I don't go out
shooting much. So it is not a problem that I often end up with "all"
photos selected, but maybe DT could default to some small(ish)
collection instead?
Also, maybe DT could only try whatever sorting option is active when
having less than some number of photos, or be explicitly asked to. E.g.
auto sorting only when having less than 1000 photos.
Also, thumbnail generation could be "lazy", only do it at some maximum
rate, unless asked to do more
Maybe some of these already exist (as a preference, maybe)
