GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 378264
Shortcuts for tags
Last modified: 2018-07-12 00:09:32 UTC
By request of another user, ability to set shotcuts/hotkeys to most often used tags, so that it could be possible to attach these tags to selected photos.
Created attachment 77609 [details] [review] Patch to create tag groups and attach them to photos with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 and Ctrl+3 shortcuts This patch add three items to the tag's menu context menu: "Assign Tag Group 1", "Assign Tag Group 2", "Assign Tag Group 3". Using these menu items, selected tags can be grouped into three different groups. Each group has its own shorcut to add to and to remove from selected photos. I think, that this patch can improve tag's usability.
Alexander, I think this is a good idea, imho your patch needs some work. Some comments on your patch: 1. the number of tag groups is hardcoded to three, both in glade and in cs code. This means that it rather fills up menus quite a bit, and more importantly that i am limited to three when i might need more. I'd rather have as much tag groups as i need at a given moment. 2. you can create tag groups, but there is no way to un-create a tag group. 3. i don't succeed in adding more than one tag to a tag group, when i right-click on the tagselection, only one tag gets selected and added to the tag group. Am I missing something obvious here? 4. tag groups are not stored across sessions. When i re-start f-spot, the previous tag groups are gone. 5. have a look at the code formatting section of the HACKING document to make sure your code is properly aligned. Best Regards, Thomas

Regarding the choice of keys: Ctrl-1 is as hand-wrecking as Ctrl-t already is. The f-keys are a perfect choice for this application.
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
