<div>I support the desire to have the option of naming color labels. In my opinion, the name does not have to be permanently stored in the images. It would be completely sufficient to have the option in the digikam settings to store an additional name for the color label that is displayed when you hover over the color. I often use colors for a specific categorization. But if I don't have time to continue working on my session for 2-3 weeks, I don't necessarily remember what each color stands for. If this were stored in digikam, it would make my workflow much easier. So I usually make a note of it externally in an additional note.</div>

Personally, I had a period wishing I could name those Pick color labels. <br>Looking through older albums their use/meaning is different from one <br>period to the next, depending on zeitgeist of the moment.<br>But progressively I got more comfortable using structured tags and star <br>ratings, and now use a combination of those for selections across <br>albums, while using color labels to distinguish images inside particular <br>albums.<br>But to each their own, right?<br><br>Best regards,<br>Sveinn í Felli<br><br><br>Þann 22.11.2025 09:18, skrifaði omimet@free.fr:<br>> Hi,<br>> I remember this constraint, using DK (and testing some other DAM <br>> software) a few years ago.<br>> I understand that this attached name has to stay in the DK session and <br>> can't be embedded in file/database<br>> The spirit of my question is to ease allocation of each color during <br>> import session by having a clear understanding of what each mean FOR ME <br>> (for Web/for printing/for optimisation/...)<br>> The idea could be to switch (or toggle) the DK interface to display the <br>> attached label instead of the color (which is remaining in the database).<br>> But I have no idea if this facility can be wished by a lot of DK users...<br>> Best regards,<br>> OM<br>> <br>> On 22/11/2025 09:26, Gilles Caulier <caulier.gilles@gmail.com> wrote:<br>>> Hi,<br>>><br>>> Do you mean to attribute a description to a color label in the digiKam<br>>> settings ?<br>>><br>>> Actually, color labels are unnamed to be universal and portable.
