A typical usecase is that you have 200 photos from one session and you want to assign 10 tags to them. You would end-up typing the same tags again and again. I think that the tags must be assigned with one click. I think that the interface for entering keywords (2 columns, one with keywords in the image, one with keyword list) can stay mostly unchanged, replacing keyword list with a tree won't need much more space. > > Thumbnail/file browser: please, don't duplicate the file manager's job ;) > > Sidebars: > * their position should be configurable (left/right/top/bottom) Changing vertical bar to horizontal is not trivial, unless the panes are square.
