I have been working with 1F for several months now. I have already saved more than 10,000 images with keywords in this system. I assign tags to my photos in my RAW processing system and then import them all into the 1F. The system is very cool to me. However, I have a few small ideas for the next version. These aren't big new feature ideas, just minor improvements. I've noticed them using a lot of files.

1. After starting the system, on the bottom left, 1F shows the number of all photos in the library and the number of … I think the sum of all tags across all photos in the library. The number is preceded by a "-". In my case 1F shows, I have currently 10.593 photos in my library and 153.013 tags (don't know if this is true). When I hover my mouse over the number of tags, the following text appears: "View all untagged images". When I click on it, no photo appears because all my photos have tags. And that's maybe OK.

But when I click on the number of tags once after starting the program, it always shows 0 in that place. I think that this function is misleading, because:

So, two different statistics on the same icon.

2. If possible, I would freeze the "View" icons in the left panel of the tag structure. I mean the ones on the left at the top. Now, when I expand the long tag tree, the icons move with the tag list and disappear off screen.

3. Alphabetical sorting in tag structure. If the list of tags is long, the lack of alphabetical order makes it very difficult to find a keyword. This has already been reported on this forum.

4. Very important. Automatically expanding tag structure tree, with parameter only.

Now, when you import a new batch of photos, and when new tags appear that are not yet in 1F, below the tag tree, there is a list of all newly found tags. Now I can drag and drop each of these new tags onto the appropriate level of the tree structure. And so far, everything is great. But when I move the mouse with a new tag over an existing structure, 1F automatically opens every level I'm over for more than half a second. In this case, when a given level in the structure has, for example, several hundred tags, I have no way to move the tag list to another place. I have to drop my tag in the list that opened. I found a solution for this and move the mouse to the appropriate level of the tag structure on the right of the tree. However, it is not always possible to hit a specific level perfectly. The same way a level in the structure behaves when I add a new tag to it with the mouse (drag & drop). That is, the level of the structure opens.

This makes the work very difficult and takes longer when you have thousands of photos and tags in your library. So I thought that it would be possible to add a parameter in Settings that, only if enabled, allows opening the structure level when moving tags using the drag & drop method. If the parameter is OFF the structure is not expanded.

That's all. I hope that my comments will be helpful in building the new version.

Thank you for the great work on the system and best regards. 😊
