Tagging, while tedious, can make your photo collection much more manageable. digiKam allows you to do it fairly easily.
Steps
-
1Open digiKam into any view that will allow you to see your images.
-
2Click on Tag >> New... This will bring you to a screen where you can create your tags.Advertisement
-
3Create a hierarchy by using the forward slash (usually at the bottom left of your keyboard). So to create a category, you might do the following:
- Arizona/Skyline
-
4Use the comma to separate multiple tag hierarchies. That way, you can accomplish more, more quickly. For example:
- Arizona/Skyline, Arizona/Flora, wikiHow/RCC/2009

2Right click on one of the images you just selected. If you don't do it on one of those images, you will deselect everything.
-
3Select the appropriate tag.
-
4If the tag you need isn't there, select "Add New Tag...". This will take you to the same dialog screen as before.Advertisement
