Feature Requests for CVAT

1. Bulk Annotation Download for Multiple Jobs Under a Task

Problem:

• Currently, exporting annotations requires downloading each job separately.
• After clicking "Download," users are redirected to another page to retrieve the file.
• This process is tedious and time-consuming when working with multiple jobs.

Proposed Solution:

• Add an option to select multiple jobs and export all annotations at once.
• Bundle the downloaded annotations into a ZIP file containing individual job annotation exports.
• Provide a progress indicator to show the status of bulk downloads.
  -Provide a progress indicator to show the status of bulk downloads.

2. Customizable CSV Export for 'CVAT for Images 1.1' Format

Problem:

• The exported CSV file includes extra columns that may not be necessary for all users.
• Users often need to perform additional post-processing to clean the data.

Proposed Solution:

• Introduce a UI option allowing users to select which columns to include in the exported CSV.
• Implement a preview feature to show sample data before exporting.
• Enable users to save export preferences for future use.

3. Single vs. Multi-label Classification Option

Problem:

• There is no clear distinction between single-label and multi-label classification tasks.
• Users may accidentally override labels when assigning a second tag.

Proposed Solution:

• Introduce a toggle option in the UI to switch between single-label and multi-label modes.
• If single-label is selected:
  • Assigning a second tag should trigger a warning:

    "You are about to override the existing tag. Do you want to proceed?"

• If multi-label is selected:
  • Multiple tags can be assigned without restriction.
• Provide a visual indication (such as color coding) for active classification mode.

Contribution

• I am willing to contribute to the Python backend implementation of these features.
• I need assistance with the front-end implementation (React-based UI components).
• Please guide me on how to proceed with setting up and contributing to the front-end development.

Looking forward to your guidance and feedback!

+1 On the Bulk Annotation Download for Multiple Jobs/Tasks.

It would be great to be able to do actions over selection or at least filters (especially download and delete).
