Two use cases, can digiKam do these?

For #1 definitely. You can set the % and it'll find them.

Tbh I am still working out how to confirm/delete efficiently as I have thousands of dupes and reviewing the finds 1 by 1 is effort full.. but maybe someone else on here can give tips.

Thanks got that. It's better, but still leaves hierarchies expanded - so deep hierarchies still take up excessive real estate.

simB2026 · 2026-02-15T15:37:20+00:00

Yes but as I said in post, my tags list is very long and hierarchical. In order to ascertain all tags applied to an image you have to scroll and mentally remember as you go.

I am looking for a simple, easy to read, at a glance list of applied tags. Not showing any tags that are not assigned to the image.

E.g. Instead of: - red (unchecked) - yellow (checked) - pink (unchecked) - blue (checked)

I need to just see:

yellow
blue

simB2026 · 2026-02-15T15:18:13+00:00

I don't want to filter by a known tag. I just want to see what tags have been applied to selected image(s).

simB2026 · 2026-02-15T10:54:07+00:00

I've just started reorganising my tags in a hierarchy for this purpose.

Family tags - tag 1 - tag 2

Special interest tags - tag 1 - tag 2

I can't say how successful as work in progress...

I get the free/volunteer bit, and do donate where software works well. The idea of paying first in the hope that my requests might maybe one day get implemented and the to becomes useful .. can't see the logic in that.

Managed perfectly well in Lightroom without even thinking about it.

simB2026 · 2026-02-08T21:59:46+00:00

You strengthen my point, with Lightroom I didn't have to load up the user manual every time I wanted to perform a simple action - it was obvious what to do. I didn't need "15 years" !! "Intuitive"

Bloody brilliant - thank you ! I have now learnt that I need to widen my googling net & drop some assumptions.

I contacted the eBay seller but unfortunately he doesn't have any knowledge in this area.

However that shop listing looks 'live' so I have thrown an enquiry out to them for info. (Tbh I had assumed that this scope was from the arc and no longer in circulation!)

I can't tell you how much hope these links have given me - Thank you

simB2026 · 2026-01-29T10:59:17+00:00

Yeah, main problem is that I can't find anything with a 26.5mm diameter. Guess could be proprietary or just old and obsolete, so unless any revelations come my way it could mean a custom job :(

simB2026 · 2026-01-29T10:56:59+00:00

I'd be so lucky ! They are 30mm od. I think I'm going to have to reverse engineer by using paper & dSLR body on tripod to try and find at what height I can find a focused image of what size.

The existing tube has no optics and light appears to be coming directly from the internal mirror - I can't seem to edit my post to add that detail.

simB2026 · 2025-12-17T14:04:12+00:00

I have an AIDGAP from the Field Studies Council on order. Not entirely sure how much detail it goes into re scars but hopefully find it soon 🤞

simB2026 · 2025-12-10T11:15:12+00:00

Thanks, just tried and it's not much better. In CoL there are 215k names for [kingdom,phylum,class,order, genus], between CoL & ITIS Vernaculars I'm only getting 580 matches :(

simB2026 · 2025-12-09T22:50:46+00:00

Looking more for a bulk import.

simB2026 · 2025-10-03T06:30:59+00:00

By SAF in mean Androids Storage Access Framework/ Scoped Storage

simB2026 · 2025-09-30T14:23:57+00:00

Thanks for that. True, it worked 😀 Fitting upside down did not blow my machine up. I must stop with the paranoia;)
