Bulk tagging uploaded images - how to do it?

[EranStockdale]

Hey there! So, I need to add multiple tags (say, african_spotted_eagle_owl, owl and avian) to a LOT of images, is there a good way to do that?

Any help is appreciated!

You can use the "Mass tag" button around top-center of the posts page, input your tags and select the posts.

This can be tedious but I have done this multiple times and it's quite fast even with hundreds of images, so there's that

If all the images are sequential you could write a simple script using the python szuru APIs to retrieve posts in a range, apply a tag to each of them and then push the new tags onto the server.

Hmm, I feared that'd be the only way. I've got a LOT of images to tag, not all are sequential either. It'd be nice to have simple shift+click functionality tbh. Thanks anyway - I'll either make a script or use something else.

What do you mean by "simple shift+click functionality"? I have been meaning to try improving the mass tag for some time now but I couldn't get good enough ideas.

In case you mean the ability to select multiple posts and only then apply tags, I might work on a branch if I get annoyed enough lol
