Tag or hide bad / low-quality photos

[lastzero]

Do we want this? What is a good technical solution?

Might implement via smart albums. Based on quality these photos will be tagged and then it will be able to show them or hide them.

Just spit-balling here, but what about grouping similar pictures together in the UI instead of hiding them?

For example, you REALLY wanted that shot to be perfect so you shot like 20 pictures of the same thing. Then half of them are awful and you're too lazy to delete them...

BUT they might be useful later in terms of editing.

We already group several files into one photo (you can set a primary file). The UI can certainly display that as stack or at least in the detail view. Hiding "bad" shots would be more like a filter or something, not hide them completely. But I'm also not convinced. I think you should just delete them as fast and as soon as possible.

@lastzero I'm also preferring deleting the bad shots as soon as possible. They are just increasing the clutter and decreasing the disk space. I would imagine this as a post-import process which is semi-automatic, the app groups the similar shots, ranks them and gives a simple UI to choose the one(s) to keep and the rest goes to the trash (which is emptied periodically). What do you think about this approach?
