[Digikam-users] Re: Rating based on quality or content? Ideas, comments?

[Peter Shute]

I also set out to do the same thing early on, using tags. This was because I was getting a lot of poor shots of rare birds. I wanted to flag them as good shots, because they were worth keeping, but wanted a sub score to rate them to find the best of them.

The colour labels should help a lot, and I'd try them when they become available rather than suggest alternatives.

It's good to hear others have the same workflow, and that it's being addressed.

This looks interesting indeed, but it is not exactly what I
envisioned. Having thought a few seconds more, maybe a scheme with
custom ratings could be useful? I jotted down a reply to Viëtor, but
that seems to have gotten stuck somewhere, but I like the idea of
something number based. If any number of custom rating criterias could
be used (i.e. in the database have several rating tables on different
citeria and allow switching between), and use a custom accelerator key
for different ratings, like the C-u (this could possibly already be done
with 2.0 by assigning keys?).

One could then create unions and/or cuts of different ratings, i.e. as
my preference would be simply content and quality something like:

quality

      | Show-off        Lucky/Great
      |   photos          shots
      |
      |
      |
      |
      | Awful          Memorable 
      | shots           shots
      +------------------------
                                content

E.g. lower left are candidates for the bin, upper right will go in the
photo-book for printing.

Again, I am rambling, but this seemed a good idea at the time...
