Description Bengt Thuree 2005-03-14 12:54:56 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary

Should have an option to negate the TAG choices.

For instance.
1) Select People
--> You will see all pictures that have a People tag associated with it.
2) Select the NOT box associated with People tag.
--> You will see all pictures that do NOT have a People tag associated with it.

This should of course work for all TAGs and Categories, irrelevant if a main
one, or a subcategory one.

Do you really come to your photo collection thinking "I'd like to see all my
photos that don't have Aunt Tillie in"?
Comment 2 Bengt Thuree 2005-03-21 22:11:14 UTC 
Well, if you are looking for a picture you know have some people in it, and you
do  know for sure the picture was not taken in Thailand, or with some other friends.

Or if you want to make sure you have tagged all the just imported pictures
correctly. Select the last imported pictures, and then select the ones that do
not have our daughter in it, to verify you tagged the pictures correctly.

I was just wishing for a "Show me all the photos with no tags at all" feature,
to see which of my 2000+ photos I have not yet tagged. That would be another use
case for this feature.

Interesting, related commentary happening on bug 139796.
Comment 5 Arjan 2005-08-09 07:29:34 UTC 
This would call for a proper 'filtering' system, much like Evolution's or
Thunderbird's filtering rules:

Select items that match [any] or [all] of the following rules:
- Select all Items where Status isnot Read
- Select all Items where fromfield is "emailaddress1"
- Select all Items where to-field isnot "emailaddress2"

This, of course, in a nice dialogwindow, which might be easily(?) copied from
one of these e-mail programs?

This is fixed in the (unaccepted) patch to bug #139796 (comment 11).
Comment 8 Jonas Bergler 2006-01-11 09:56:00 UTC 
I would close this as a dupe of #139796, and simply add the NOT operator to the bug #139796 as it is aleardy in Gabriel Burt's patch.
Comment 9 Bengt Thuree 2006-01-11 12:26:54 UTC 
no problem with me.
