Hi all,
lately I was playing with fspot and a couple of pictures from two or
tree events.
I started tagging the pictures.

and so on
for 160 photos I created around 20 tags...
Then I thought about my other more than 10000 photos and all the tags
they will need.
Of course I know that the tags will grow slower by time but even now all
my tags wont fit onto one screen height.
So what is your experience with tags, with many of them?
How do you guys organise/structure you tas? any thoughts?
which struckture is not good, hard to scale....
Cheers,
seb
PS: I posted this on ubuntu-au list a while ago but got no reply :-(
I have started to tag things then stopped as I realised that potentially
there were so many categories that tagging photos took longer than
finding them on a visual time line.
I have then in groups from particular trips, and F spot puts them on a
time line which is a similar pattern. So far memory and time line is
working and that has been easier than creating a different tagging system.
This is similar to my slide collection which is mostly from trips in
sequential order and I just use memory and labels on the actual slide,
which has mostly worked, but all this will fail some day as I get more
photos and less human memory.
cheers
