Simple Photo Tagger

If you’re looking for an easy and fast way to add comments to the thousands of digital pictures sitting on your harddisk, look no further. I have just the program for you: Simple Photo Tagger.

SimplePhotoTagger1    SimplePhotoTagger2

It’s a program focused on one single task: helping you get through commenting on your digital photos as fast and efficiently as I can imagine.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select a folder that contains the pictures you want to work on.
  2. The first picture is shown.
  3. Type your comment.
  4. Press Enter.
  5. The next picture is shown.

Now just repeat steps 3-5 until you’re done with all the pictures in the folder. Then go back to step 1.

The program remembers the last ten comments you entered and lets you re-use them with a single click. It also lets you re-use the last comment with the Ctrl+L keystroke.

There’s also an option to add and remove keywords (sometimes called tags).

I’m looking for testers and feedback, so for a limited time I’ll waive the nominal amount that I normally charge for the program.

The limited evaluation version only loads up to five pictures from the selected folder and doesn’t let you add or remove keywords/tags. It also doesn’t let you narrow the pictures worked on to pictures that have no comment yet.

Download the program here (version 1.0.9), then contact me through comments on this page to get a key.

To install the program, unpack the zip file, then run setup.exe.

Yup.

Looks good, I’m willing to give this a try and feed back my comments.

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on February 7, 2009

Key is on the way.

Alan wrote a comment on February 8, 2009

Where do I enter the key at??

thanks

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on February 8, 2009

There’s a button in the lower left that says “Enter License”.

Alan wrote a comment on February 12, 2009

Ok, for some reason, and only your program, I can not see the bottom of the screen, If i drag the corners in to re size it just cuts more off, it doesn’t make the window smaller as it should.
I’m using a laptop with 15.4″ screen, vista, 1280×800 screen size.

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on February 12, 2009

That’s good feedback. I’ll need to make some changes to address that. Thanks!

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on February 13, 2009

I’ve updated the program to try to address Alan’s comment from February 12. If anybody else is seeing the same problem, please redownload using the link in this post, unzip and run the setup.exe program. It should update properly to the new version (1.0.8.0)

Alan wrote a comment on February 14, 2009

Thanks, that’s a bit better as it now has scroll bars to see the missing parts, I think the problem still lies in that the photo does not reduce in size with the window, address that and should work better.
Trying the tagging part now, seems very easy so far.

I would love to test out the photo tagger — I am especially excited that is a wpf application…

Looking forward to seeing your work :)

could you possibly allow me to try the program. Like you I have been looking for something really simple and there appears to be nothing there.

I look forward to hearing from you.

A key should be on the way.

Check your email. It should arrive shortly.

Request for a key …

Btw. I’m playing around with WIC.

Are you using code like?
metaData.SetQuery(“/xmp/dc:description/x-default”, value);
metaData.SetQuery(“/app1/ifd/{uint=270}”, value);
metaData.SetQuery(“/app13/irb/8bimiptc/iptc/Caption”, value);

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on September 18, 2009

That looks similar to what my code is doing, yes. I’ll get a key out to you soon.

Derrell wrote a comment on September 20, 2009

May i please have a key to try this out?

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on September 20, 2009

Yes, I’ll send one out to you soon.

judgeman wrote a comment on September 22, 2009

Have you also tried to tag also RAW photos?
WIC should support that.

GeekTieGuy wrote a comment on September 22, 2009

No, I have not tried that, not even “just to see if”. I don’t usually shoot my pictures in RAW.

druiddevil wrote a comment on October 5, 2009

Vera Lundell wrote a comment on October 13, 2009

Your program looks like my dream solution. May I have a key please? I have over seven thousand family travel photos to keyword, and I don’t know whether I want to even begin without a solution like yours. Thanks

Look in your email. There should be something there soon.
