Currently in G3, browsing through pictures with tags can only be one tag at a time. Would it is possible to be able to browse pictures using multiple tags so that the result set won't be giant? For example, to search for photos containing the tags "dog" and "cat" would be "/tag/dog/tag/cat" or maybe "/tag/dog/cat". Flickr has something like this in their API and I would just like to see if I put this in as a feature request if if it would be filled.

Here's some test from the Flickr "flickr.photos.search" API:

tags (Optional)
A comma-delimited list of tags. Photos with one or more of the tags listed will be returned. You can exclude results that match a term by prepending it with a - character.

tag_mode (Optional)
Either 'any' for an OR combination of tags, or 'all' for an AND combination. Defaults to 'any' if not specified.

I think that is a reasonable feature request. Perhaps a developer can work on it.
Please file a request: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/newticket (registration is free). That way it does ot get lost in the forums.

Awesome, thanks floridave! Yeah, I just wanted to make sure it was a reasonable request that wouldn't take a terrible amount of work.

I would second this request. Ideally, I would like to have tag clouds that are filtered by the current single tag search (for example tag "dog"), and allow you to click on additional criteria (like click "cat", and it would append the search to be "dog" and "cat"). Honestly, done correctly, this will be the ultimate solution for my virtual tag albums.

I would definitely LOVE this! One day I will try and learn enough to try and tackle this sort of work...

The behaviour should be just as jeffmcclain describes... pick a tag, then narrow it down further by selecting (from a list of tags that are only available with the first tag selected) a secondary tag...and so on if available.

Thanks
