Tag selection with drop-down menu #311

Open kichinsky opened 6 years ago

kichinsky commented 6 years ago

Per customer request:

While tagging like in the Custom Vision web object detection autocomplete drop-down should be available to tag rather than searching below.

The request is to implement a drop-down menu with tags placed near selected region to allow "in-place" edit of tags instead of using tags control on the bottom or keyboard shortcuts. image

@kichinsky - can you please provide more info on this request so that it is clear without knowing about the custom vision service feature?

kichinsky commented 6 years ago

Yeah, updated description.

Personal comment: I don't feel like it will fit into V2, and meanwhile I understand the UI approach, it is a step aside from the current interaction model optimized for continuous tagging rather than one centered around particular regions. It will make absolute sense if regions/areas will become complex objects with multiple properties, settings, etc., but we are not at that point yet.

I think we need a design review and design guidance at some point near V3.

This seems cumbersome to me. But I was thinking today about being able to click on a box and either 1) type in a new tag for a novel class, and 2) add an annotation to a box (text description). Not sure if these would be the most useful additions but I thought I would mention them.
