** Bonus: Using tags to specify a sub-set of photographs

FIXXME 2018-03-07: filetags now has the command line option of
|
||||
filtering files according to a tag. The method described below is the
|
||||
previous/old method. The new one requires only calling filetags with
|
||||
the =--filter= parameter. This has the advantage, that you can filter
|
||||
to any tag you like and not only to the =sel= tag as described below.
|
||||
|
||||
You know the problem: got back from Paris and you can not show 937
|
||||
image files to your friends. It's just too much.
|
||||
|
||||
My solution: I tag to define selections. For example, I am using
|
||||
~sel~ for the ultimate cool photographs using ~filetags~, of course.

My solution: I tag to define selections. For example, I am using ~sel~
|
||||
("selection") for the ultimate cool photographs using ~filetags~, of
|
||||
course.
|
||||
|
||||
Within geeqie, I redefined ~S~ (usually mapped to "sort manager") to
|
||||
an external shell script (below) which creates a temporary folder
|
||||
(within ~/tmp/~), symbolic links to all photographs of the current
|
||||
folder that contain the tag ~sel~, and start a new instance of
|
||||
geeqie.
|
||||
Within geeqie, which is my preferred image viewer, I redefined ~F~ to
|
||||
call filetags with its =--filter= parameter. Now I get asked to enter
|
||||
one or more tags to filter the current folder. For presenting only the
|
||||
files that were tagged with ~sel~, I enter ~sel~ and confirm with
|
||||
~Enter~.
|
||||
|
||||
This creates a temporary folder with symbolic links to all photographs
|
||||
of the current folder that contain the tag ~sel~ and it starts a new
|
||||
(additional) instance of geeqie.
|
||||
|
||||
In short: after returning from a trip, I mark all "cool" photographs
|
||||
within geeqie, choose ~t~ and tag them with ~sel~ (described in
|
||||
previous section). For showing only ~sel~ images, I just press ~S~
|
||||
in geeqie and instead of 937 photographs, my friends just have to
|
||||
previous section). For showing only ~sel~ images, I just press ~F~,
|
||||
enter ~sel~ and instead of 937 photographs, my friends just have to
|
||||
watch the best 50 or so. :-)
