🏷️ Added tag description

In Chevereto v4.2.0, content managers and admins now have the ability to add optional descriptions to tags. This feature allows for better clarification and context, making it easier to understand the purpose and usage of specific tags across the platform.



Of course, you can edit tags directly from the tag page.



As you may imagine, that description is also used to populate meta description.

🏷️ Added automatic camera model tagging

Chevereto v4.2.0 adds an option under the user settings enabling to toggle to automatic tag images according to the EXIF data. For example, it automatically creates "Apple iPhone 6" tag based on the image metadata.

This was suggested by @vlaur 10 years ago. https://chevereto.com/community/threads/camera-model-name-as-tag.5258/#post-29150

Work on v4.2.0 has been ongoing for over three months since July, with more than 100 issues addressed.

This is shaping up to be Chevereto’s biggest and best release yet. The next step is thorough testing, followed by refining based on community feedback. The release is planned for availability before October 15.

PSA If you don’t have an active Chevereto license now is a great time to purchase one, as subscription prices will see a slight increase after the launch.

✅ Added "Go up" button for sub-albums

Chevereto v4.2.0 adds a button that enables to quickly jump to the parent album (if any) of the current album.


The button is an arrow pointing up, on hovering it shows the parent album name. The button is privacy aware, if the parent album is private and the user doesn't have permission the button won't be shown.

When you "jump up" you land at /album/id/sub, like this:



I've also changed the icon as the previous one was totally wrong.
