Multi select tags/events
Please describe the problem you are trying to solve
Filtering photos by selecting multiple tags. Some examples:
- Select multiple people tags to find files with 2 distinct people in them (e.g. all photos that have my son and his grandfather)
- Select multiple location tags (e.g. all cities in one country)
- Select multiple event dates (without merging events) like "all photos from my two children's 1st birthdays" (the children being years apart in actual age)
One complication with such a feature is that in some cases we want an AND behaviour and in some cases we want OR.
e.g.
- Multiple locations would always be OR (we can't really have a photo taken in two locations). Same goes for timeline / event based tagging.
- Multiple people could go either way, but I see it most useful being an AND type logic
This could perhaps be done with Ctrl+Click (OR) and Shift+Click (AND) or something like that. Such a UI behaviour would not be too obvious to users though.
Other solutions you have considered
There doesn't seem to be any other obvious solutions to this problem (apart from the labor intensive option of setting up specific tags for each scenario - which doesn't make much sense)
