Tagging and deleting

[jesta030]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have been looking everywhere for a photo viewing/organizing app that doesn't mess with the files and directory structure or stores information like tags in a database that is inaccessible to other apps. I have only found other people looking for the same functionality but no viable solution. PiGallery2 is awesome in it's simplicity and work with IPTC tags and it would be perfect if it could edit those tags from the WebUI and delete unwanted pictures.

Describe the solution you'd like
A simple interface to add tags. Bonus if it suggests the most recently used tags so they don't have to be entered every time.
A trash can button to quickly delete pictures.

Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)
I am currently using windows explorer to tag pictures which works but is cumbersome and rather slow. I have used Synology's Photo Station before which has tagging and deleting features but is only available on Synology DSM or in Xpenology which is not really stable or supported and doesn't like external storage.

Any chance of these features finding their way into PiGallery2?

P.S. I'd like to contribute a german localization, how do I go about doing this?

@jesta030 ,

I agree! i haven't found a better option, and want the exact same functionality.

I use Digikam for tagging, which i would imagine is better than windows explorer.

Hi,

This is related to #38 #76

In short I'm still not sure that I want to support photo manipulation at the current form of the app. I would like to keep the photos folder read only. I'm sorry.

To translate the app the easiest way probably to clone the messages.en.xlf to message.de.xlf: https:/bpatrik/pigallery2/blob/master/src/frontend/translate/messages.en.xlf
And translate the target tags in them. You can find example of translations in the same folder.

you can also test if you want:
-download the source and build it when you ready with the translation.
But you can save the time for that. I'll accept the PR if you promise me that you do not mess up the <> tags :)

PiGallery2 is fantastic, and does all I want, is configurable and fast. The only thing is, my wife really wants a delete option. Would it not be possible to keep the storage folders read-only by default, but for the people that need it to allow them to be to delete images??
