Re: Show all tags in Albums? (Was: Terminology)

Also, if the default is to show all the tags, then what is the
difference between tags and albums? The whole album effect could be
gotten by creating a top-level tag called Albums and adding tags under
it, each an album.

Two main differences - albums are ordered, and albums can have other metadata attached. Eventually I think it could be useful to include some of the options iPhoto has - things like a soundtrack to play while showing the album. I think it'd be valuable to hold other presentation information there - perhaps preferred background colour, if you want frames around the photos, etc.

As this is a different subject than the Terminology, I'm changing the
Email Subject. Let's keep the threads seperate.

Well - if it makes you happy. I thought we were nailing down the definition of Album. IIRC the fact that only a subset of the tags are shown in an album was in your original definition and that triggered this whole discussion...
