Questions and Feature requests

[N Kar]

Hello,

As an amatuer photographer, I was looking for an opensource image
management software to move away from Adobe Bridge, and I am happy that I
came across DigiKam. I did not use its editing features yet, so my
comments, questions and wishes are restricted to the photo management
section in Windows 11 24H2 Pro:

1. In my laptop display, I find the left and right panels are too wide, and
customization of the thumbnails in the middle is difficult.

2. In terms of font size, the default of the main menu on top seems too
small, and on left and right panel too big. On a 15” laptop display, that
results in poor visibility of the menu and word truncation in extreme left
panel. I could not set the three font choices right. Any suggestion will be
helpful.

3. I am big fan of multiple overlapping tags per photo. Is there any way to
get seasons tag automatically from exif date? Of course the software needs
an input to know which hemisphere the user in.

4. Will it be possible to implement similar autotagging of location if exif
contain location data? In addition, a user/map defined identification of
the location (xxx park, yyy city) can bring additional location tags that
might be useful to average user who wants to go beyond lat/long.

5. Is there any way to tag folders without opening, selecting all pictures
inside and then tagging?

6. I rarely photograph humans, but can AI features be extended at least
partially to animal pictures? Eye detection and focus check around eyes for
scoring, and animal autotag based on similarity could have been great
features.

7. For AI scoring based on aesthetics, what are the criteria? I could be
use it successfuly, and use basic criteria instead. Suggestions welcome.

Again, thank you and the whole team for your development and maintainance
of such an excellent software, and for deciding it to keep it as opensource
and free.

Warm regards,
Kar, N.
