Enhancement: Filter for images with no tag attached #17130

Closed pozix604 closed 1 month ago

pozix604 commented 3 months ago

I want to search for images that have no tag attached.

My workflow as follows:

  1. Triage images
  2. Tag images with appropriate category
  3. Look at images not yet tagged and continue until done

I cannot do this because I cannot filter for images that have no tag attached.

Describe the solution you'd like In collection filters, perhaps a tag-specific section that allows for more than just a text match.

There is a select_untagged script in the contrib folder of the lua scripts. It adds a button to the select images module to select untagged images.

Are you having difficulties with the "not tagged" option when using the "tag" criterion in the collections module? That should give you what you want when combined as a "narrow down search" rule with some other selection criterion such as filmroll.

All collections in darktable are what that other program calls a smart collection, so as soon as you tag an image while using such a collection rule, it will disappear from the lighttable since it is no longer untagged.
