| Dear all,
| 
| As an amateur photographer and 3D graphics designer I find myself with 
| thousands of images to store and catalog manually. KimDaBa method for 
| describing one or several images with a few mouse clicks is great. But it 
| could be better if it were possible to assign descriptions with one click.
| 
| I think it may be possible to create properties and combination of properties, 
| example the next three properties:
| 	
| 		1 -  Carolina
| 		2 -  Europe Trip
| 		3 -  Europe Trip and Carolina
| 
| Then have in KimDaBa main window two frames, the main one with all the 
| pictures and a left one with all the properties and combinations. Then 
| applying properties to an image would only imply selecting an image or group 
| of images from the main frame and drag them to the property on the left 
| frame. Just as moving files in a file system but instead of moving or copying 
| them physically on the hard drive it only applies the properties to the 
| images the way KimDaBa does with the dialog. In this example I could select a 
| group of images taken in Europe with Carolina in them and drag them to the 
| Carolina propertie and then to the Europe Trip property or simply drag them 
| once tho the Europe Trip and Carolina property. This would make easier (I 
| think) to catalog large amounts of pictures. Clicking on one of the 
| properties would show all the images that belong to that attribute.
| 
| 
| This is just an idea, I have no resources (skill) to implement this myself but 
| really hope someone has the resources to do it.
| 
| ps. I don't belong to the list, so if someone want's to reply to me please 
| make a cc to my email.
Though I like your ideas, I'm afraid I wouldn't have resources for this
either, sorry (to many other things in KimDaBa I'd rather prefer done)

Cheers
Jesper.
