In a couple other threads there was some discusson regarding automatic tagging, as well as color class and star rating assignment...
http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=1957http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=1902.msg8740#msg8740Perhaps an automatic ingest tagging feature could be implemented with the following options:
Hidden Files:
Set as Tagged = Yes (Default) or No
Set Star Rating = 0 (Default) or 1-5
Set Color Class = 0 (Default) or 1-8
Protected Files:
Set as Tagged = Yes (Default) or No
Set Star Rating = 0 (Default) or 1-5
Set Color Class = 0 (Default) or 1-8
Other Files:
Set as Tagged = Yes or No (Default)
Set Star Rating = 0 (Default) or 1-5
Set Color Class = 0 (Default) or 1-8
These options could be set through a dedicated window from the ingest dialog (perhaps a "Tagging..." button next to the "Job..." button). Thus, different auto-tagging setting could easily be used by selecting different ingest snapshots.
In fact, in the future we could even extend this auto-tagging for other file attributes. Perhaps even based on variables (e.g. set a specific color class for all images shot on a specific date, with a specific lens, with a specific program mode set, etc). Obviously, such advanced tagging should be done at later date, and only if there is enough of a demand for it.
