Auto Tagger - Best practice?

[stefanjan2]

I'm interested in hearing from imatch users of Auto Tagger how you use it.

My usage is personal, non commercial but I would like to be able to search random topics e.g. for photo competitions like "blue", "reflections" etc.

I'm thinking initially, I'll allow Auto Tagger to "Map all keywords to a common parent keyword unless they are mapped otherwise" That way I can add keywords to the thesaurus that I want to keep.

Eventually I envisage, changing the settings to "Don't assign unmapped keywords" and deleting the common parent keyword "zz" as most of the keywords are irrelevant.

I have thousands of files without keywords so while I'm currently experimenting in manual mode, I will have to switch to auto tag once I start auto tagging in earnest.

Currently using Google Cloud, took me a while to figure out how to get the API key, until I discovered that the Mapping API worked.

For reference, attach my current config.
