Hi, thanks for working so hard on photoprism im very excited about the project!

I have a few suggestions / ideas to improve the tagging experience, maybe something is possible and feasable:

adding a tag cloud (or frequently used tags) to the tagging page for easier and faster tagging
auto complete or suggestion of existing tags while typing (to avoid multiple versions of the same or similar tag)
a small preview to see the the actual photo you are tagging
options to control the Learning or recognizing threshold eg. only display suggestions above a certain %
option to schedule automatic face or object recognition (run recognition every night)

Thank you again for your hard work! Im a bare novice who just installed docker for the first time to run Photoprism and im amazed how well it works even at this stage! Absolute solid!

Hello,
I'm just finding out about your solution and evaluating the demo.
So far it looks really great to share my photo library with family and others.
However, from what I've seen so far and read from the user manual and FAQ, I'd like to add to this idea via example.
I've used Adobe Photoshop Elements for photo organization for years, and its tag system is one of the primary reasons.
The following features really stand out:

Tags are created in their own sidebar and can be hierarchical, so you can create your own taxonomy.
Display can be managed by selecting various levels of tags or combinations of tags in different branches of the tag structure.
Tags can be applied by a drag and drop method to one or more files. Very useful when you upload new pics as multiple pics typically need the same tag.
Tags can be read from and/or pushed to the EXIF data at the file level, leveraging your tagging investment as the tag can be read from the exif data by other programs.
I'm I'm not sure how any of this would coexist with your automated classification, just wanted to offer up the ideas.

Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to implement this in the future, of course depending on our funding and what feature requests are most popular - there are enough to keep a team of developers busy for years :)
