Recognize / detect screenshots and tag them #1083

Describe the feature you'd like to request

First thank you very much for this greate piece of software! I'd like to propose the inclusion of a feature to help identify and tag screenshots automatically. I understand that distinguishing screenshots from other images can be tricky, and there might not be a foolproof method. Still, having a feature that utilizes visual cues like user interface elements (buttons, menus, status bars) could greatly assist users in managing their media libraries more effectively (e.g. decluttering).

Describe the solution you'd like

The suggested solution involves integrating an algorithm that performs visual analysis on images, considering elements indicative of screenshots. While recognizing the challenge of achieving complete accuracy, this feature could substantially improve the organization of media libraries - Users could review the images tagged as screenshots and then decide how to handle them, whether opting for deletion or applying specific processing actions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Perhaps it might be worth to additional explore the option of detecting a specific substring, such as "screenshot," within the filename. Another avenue could involve examining Exif data for relevant information. I'm open to any other ideas or approaches the community may have. Your thoughts and comments on this feature request are highly valued.

Thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

Hello :wave:

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with recognize. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. I try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself. (Also see our Code of Conduct. Really.)

I look forward to working with you on this issue Cheers :blue_heart:
