Possible Glitch using the AutoTagger

[Lukas52]

Hi,

i have just upgraded to Imatch 2025. I like it. feels a lot snappier. I'm running on a system with lots of slow-ish CPU cores and i am seeing more cores being used at the same time.

But back on topic:
Im trying to set up AutoTagger to use a local Model (Gemma3). Install works, model responds mostly as expected. I set things up so the AI Tags into the corresponding IMatch AI Datafields.
However if i check them using the Metadata Panel it adds the same tags to every file of a batch...
In other words:
I select 20 Images, press F7, hit run, wait about a minute, and its done.
I go open the Metadata view, select my AI Preset, and all files appear to have the same tags, description and location tags. They all seem to come from the first one.
Ollama log files also only list one request being made.
IMatch log file (at least in normal logging mode) doesn't show the request being made at all just this:

Code Select Expand

I> [Image path goes here] loaded in 47ms. Result: 2
Not sure if i am doing something wrong or if this is a bug.

I did have to create my own Metadata Panel preset, since somehow the one mentioned on the wiki page was missing from my installation. Maybe i messed that up somehow.

Make sure the "Run once for all selected files" option is not enabled for AutoTagger.



See: Run Once

Ah,

i may should have mouse over-ed that setting before enabling it...

Not sure why but i thought it would do something different

I queued a new batch and it seems to process multiple images now.

This option is a time (and money) saver.

If you have several shots of basically the same motive, select them all, make the "most relevant" image the focused image and run AutoTagger with this option enabled. All selected images get the same description, keywords, headline or other traits.

You can apply this setting dynamically using either

<Alt>+<F7> => run AutoTagger with the last settings on all selected files
<Shift>+<Alt>+<F7> => run AutoTagger with the last settings on all selected files with Run Once enabled.

If you have a mixed batch of images, some series of the same motive and more individual motives, using these keyboard shortcuts allows you to quickly enqueue the images with or without Run Once as needed.
