Play Images and Triage/comments

Post by tomczak »

Play Images works much faster now, and I think it has a lot of potential. I tried to use for triage.

If Play is invoked from Browse, one can only view images, not mark them in any way. But if you drop the images to a (bogus) workflow, and start Play from there, you can mark images with Reject, OK, and Nothing - which is great. Those marks are transient only - they can't be written to e.g. EXIF or BrowsInfo file.

I don't know of a way of sorting the images by those editing marks, but the workflow can be limited to process the images with the specified markings only (e.g. move them to 'Picks' folder).

As far as I figured, one can not edit comments while previewing images in Play.

From a user perspective, I think it would be awesome if:

1) the OK/Reject marks could be retained after triage somehow (e.g. if not in exif, in BrowseInfo).
2) one could add/edit comments while previewing images in Play.

If some of those comments could also be searched by afterwards, I would be in heaven!
