Tagging differentiation
Standardisation is important.
Tagging in Uploadr involves writing tags in the format such that its:
australia victoria melbourne “notting hill” clayton
Tagging in ScribeFire, involves writing tags that are parsed in a different way (for Technorati):
australia, victoria, melbourne, notting hill, clayton
Notice the commas (“,”)? Without them, your tags are all lumped together. I’m wondering if I should change Uploadr to similar behaviour as ScribeFire (or vice versa)? What do other applications do for tagging in a field?
It should be trivial to make this change, the question is if my patch will be accepted upstream. I’m already using a patched version of Uploadr, as I await the author to implement my patch (which adds a description field, which the Flickr API supports). Incidentally, PyGTK is pretty easy to get around with, with superb documentation making it easy for anyone to get on the bandwagon. More on pygtk programming later…
Technorati Tags: tagging, uploadr, scribefire, standardisation, tags, flickr, pygtk, firefox, gnome
F-Spot uses commas.
wordpress 2.3 also uses commas, so i’m presuming this is the way to go…
