Description Bengt Thuree 2007-04-09 14:43:17 UTC 
Somewhat related to bug #321770 
When you add photos from an existing directory structure, it would be nice if F-Spot added a tag indicating which directory the photo originating from.

This could be as an option during the import.

If the tag is not needed, it is easy to remove the tag (as everyone knows)

This would help the people that have about 200 directories or more, but no tags.
could import all photos in one go, and then filter and tag the various directories easily afterwards.

Hi Bengt,

Which part of the directory patch should be translated to tag ? only the last part ? full path ? full uri  (if imported from something different than file:///)?
Comment 2 Bengt Thuree 2007-04-10 03:45:37 UTC 
Hi Stephane, 

Good question, and something that needs to be sorted out.

How about allowing the user a few different options?
Configurable in Preferences perhaps?

URI: /home/share/Photos/Vacations/1999/Summer/Greece/<pictures>

1) Breaking apart the URI into each folder, and store each folder as its own tag.
Tags: home, share, Photos, Vacations, 1999, Summer, Greece

2) Ignore first X folders
Tags (with X = 3): Vacations, 1999, Summer, Greece

3) Full URI
Tags (One tag only): /home/share/Photos/Vacations/1999/Summer/Greece

The second alternative, with skipping the first X folders (/usr/share/Photos for instance), and using each folder name as a separate tag after that, should create a very good Tag system for every user using Folder Structures today. 

Or?

Marking this as duplicate as the other bug has already some implementation analysis.
