<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have a very strange situation. As part of my Digikam 8.6.0 organization structure, I have a hierarchical tag structure that is Tags > Events > Year > Event Name. An example is Tag > Events > 1984 > 1984-05-14
- Cape Hatteras Surfing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The idea is that I can take all photos from a year and assign them under Events, like "1984" in the example Then I can take certain photos and assign them to a specific event, liked "1984-05-14 - Cape Hatteras
Surfing" in the example.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have 42 years (1984 through 2025) structured like this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">After assigning all photos to specific events, I always have photos left over in that year that aren't tagged with any event. I am trying to identify these non-event random photo so I can tag them with a
tag named "Not Currently in Event".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I've successfully done this for 31 of 42 by using the following method.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I choose the album for a year, which is found under Tag > Year, a higher level and different part of my tag structure than the Events subtag section.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I then select all Event check boxes for that year using the Filter tab at right.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I select all these with Cntl-A.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I then click the year tag box at top of the Events folder so the non-event photos show as well. Now all photos for that year appear with only the
photos which are assigned to an Event highlighted. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I then click Invert Selection, and the non-Event photos will be highlighted instead.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I add the now-highlighted photos to the "Not Currently in Event" tag.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Now all photos in a year are assigned either to an Event or the tag "Not Currently in Event", so all photos of the year are categorized.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For 31 of the Years this worked. But for 11 of these Years, when I clicked the Year box, and all the photos appears, ALL the photos are now highlighted rather than just the Event categorized photos. So I
can't tell what I should add to the "Not Currently in Event" tag category.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There must be some structural difference to how I tagged photos in these 11 galleries. Or perhaps there is a Digikam glitch?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I've gone round and round with ChatGPT to try and solve this behavior but to no avail. ChatGPT keeps giving me things to try, but none work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Does anyone know what might be happening? I can gladly supply screen shots to help diagnose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank, Wes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
