If you want to use the rainy days to have your image library automatically indexed with keywords, there's now a tutorial showing you how to do it using my #opensource tool STAG and #darktable

(I wrote STAG last year as a command line tool for myself, then my boss saw it and got excited and had the idea to make a small GUI for it and provide Linux, Mac and Windows binaries... and that's what we did ;-))

p.s: Yes, it's AI, but it's good AI. From the
FAQ:
[…]
But isn't using AI bad for the environment?

It's important to understand that not everything utilizing AI has to do with LLMs running on multi-billion dollar server farms owned by billionaires. STAG uses a very small convolutional neural network (CNN) which does not even need a GPU to run fast and efficiently. You can run STAG on a perfectly normal computer and not draw more power than your Adblocker needs for making the internet bearable.
Very nice!
Btw. Another good open source tool for working with XMP sidecar files (and managing/searching large photo collections in general) would be Digikam.
Didn't try it yet, but I guess it would be a good combination: STAG for auto tagging and Digikam for viewing/searching (without all this RAW processing stuff that makes Darktable perhaps look more complicated).
It's of course also open source...
I have heard of people using STAG with digikam. I don't have any experience with it myself but from what I've heard I think it works fine. :)
