Feature Request: Show tags in gallery

[dnmason]

It would be great when a dataset contains multiple experimental conditions to be able to tell them apart from the gallery page. At present, you have to open the image in full viewer, click Image Info and read out the filename there. Showing tags would be snappier than full filenames (which don't always contain "uncoded" experimental info).

Thanks for the feedback. Currently you can see the image name in the thumbnail tool-tip when browsing a Project or Dataset, so you shouldn't have to open the image viewer for this (although it may not be very obvious that the tool-tips are there). How would you want image names or tags displayed in the gallery? The pages are pretty simple at the moment (maybe too simple?) which means that they work OK at different screen sizes (phones & tablets etc). So, it's more of a design problem of how to do this than a technical one.

Thanks for pointing out the tool tip. I had something in mind like the thumbnail figure in the webclient sorted by tags:

To link that back to Issue #1, a "download original" link beneath the image would be great.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I should say that this is looking like a big feature and it's not likely that I'll get around to it soon unless it turns out to be dead simple or it is requested by other users too.

The thumbnail figure sorting by tag relies on the user to choose a small number of tags in a particular order. Would you be happy for the users to do this themselves, or would you want to somehow configure this for each Dataset, or just use ALL tags and sort by name?

Sorry for the slow reply: vacation got in the way.

If the users can do this themselves, that would be fine. What might be better (read: easier) is to just display tags under (or next to) the thumbnails. As the data are often grouped (based on alphanumeric sorting of the filenames) it would just allow the observer to (at a glance) tell which images relate to which experimental condition, which is all I'm after in the end.
