Photo Tagging (requiring a database for photos?)?

[Gamester17]

I was just wondering if you guys were planning on implementing a native photo tagging feature in Boxee?

Thus making it possible to search, and filter photos when browsing digital pictures, per person, date/year, GPS (geotag) location, or other tags, via a library view mode in the photos section, (the metadata data would be imported via the full EXIF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXIF) / IPTC metadata reader which XBMC already have).

This would of course require the implementation of a database for the pictures section in XBMC as well, (similar to the video and music databases).

:cool:

Would be great. A search function function in any media would be great now that I think of it. Most of the times I know where my files are so I have to navigate through all the files to get too it. If it starts with an A i'm lucky if the file starts with z or w I'm in for load of scrolling. It would be great to just do a search and Boxee would just show me the file. Vice versa in other words. A search à la Spotlight (live search results) would totally amazing :)

Basically you can do two things:

Browse : boxee does this very well and with cover art a joy to behold.

or

Search for specific file : a search function would make it faster and easier for everyone and hey even the wive might be able to find the file back :eek:

It would also be very cool if Boxee could use the GPS (GeoTag) location tag in scripts/plugins. There is already a really cool Google Earth python script for XBMC called "LocateU (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16501)" which could maybe be modified to use GeoTags ;)
