![]() I guess I could create a "Keyword" category or a "Descriptive" category but those categories would just contain the same labels that are in my Miscellaneous category now. They are descriptive keywords that are not intended to be used for organizational purposes. Basically, it's a place to put labels that I create primarily for the purpose of keywording my photos. What's the point in that? I may go through them someday and create some new categories or parent labels to put some of them into but in the meantime Miscellaneous is a pretty handy place to keep them. Sure I could come up with categories to put them in but then I'd have dozens of categories with only one label in each. To me that category is a complete nuisance, because it simply means something with assigning labels to any category that makes sense went wrong.įrank, I have plenty of labels in my Miscellaneous category because they are miscellaneous labels. In my opinion it would not over-complicate things, but make cataloging easier.įbungarz wrote:Why anyone would want to use 'Miscellaneous' is completely beyond me. Keeping their catalogs ordered is surely in the interest of most and probably the reason that a DAM is being used. Furthermore, it would remind the user that it's time to put "funny sign" in the right category to keep things tidy. My point is that it would be easier for sorting if labels in the Misc category were made in a different color. ![]() This is an easy case just for illustration, but it can be more complex when a whole group of images with different labels are imported. "Funny sign" is a label which has not yet been assigned its correct place in the catalog and is still filed under Misc. is now to remove the Vienna under Misc and assign both Vienna under Places.Ĭoffee house and coffee shop are designated synonyms of cafe, but are now also place in Misc. Just because you have not come across this, does not mean that you are immune.Īustria is categorized once under Places (the old image) and once under Misc (the new image). Unfortunately the combination of my editor and PSu (no need for details here) results in duplicate labels when importing edited images and can come from other sources outside your control. These are the combined labels of two images, one unedited and one edited.

Tips along the lines of delete all misc labels or don't use external programs which do this are well-intended but impractical if that is your workflow. The developers are the experts to work out how this is best accomplished. This would clearly flag where attention is needed. My suggestion therefore would be to have a red (?) label designation that one or more images have a label which is in the misc category. ![]() It can however result in just one label being shown in the misc category, which might be overlooked. ![]() That is usually easy to spot and correct. That can result in double labels (one in the correct category and one in misc). In my case, I am slowly reducing the 60,000 images with one or multiple miscellaneous labels, but also new ones are being added when images have been edited externally. Having said this, the misc category can be a useful catchment and some users might find it useful. The user adds a label to misc when time is too short to search for the correct place Preferences are set to add folder names to misc Several reasons result in misc labels, including: I wish to suggest a further colour for labels and have raised this in Mantis:Īnother color (red?) could be used for labels in the miscellaneous category.
