Roadmap¶

This page outlines the current and planned features required for TagStudio to be considered "feature complete" (v10.0.0). Features and changes are broken up by group in order to better assess the overall state of those features. Priority levels and version estimates are provided in order to give a rough idea of what's planned and when it may release.

This roadmap will update as new features are planned or completed. If there's a feature you'd like to see but is not listed on this page, please check the GitHub Issues page and submit a feature request if one does not already exist!

Priority Levels¶

Planned features and changes are assigned priority levels to signify how important they are to the feature-complete version of TagStudio and to serve as a general guide for what should be worked on first, along with version estimates. When features are completed, their priority level icons are removed.

Priority Level Icons

High Priority - Core features
Medium Priority - Important, but not necessary
Low Priority - Just nice to have

Version Estimates¶

Features are given rough estimations for which version they will be completed in listed next to their names (e.g. Feature [v9.0.0]). When the feature is completed they're linked to their respective changelog release, if applicable.

Version Cycle	Focused Features
~~Alpha v9.5.x~~	~~Migrate from JSON to SQLite database format~~
Alpha v9.6.x	Necessary database changes for upcoming features
Alpha v9.7.x	Implement currently solidified features
Beta v9.8.x	Solidify remaining features and implementations
Beta v9.9.x	Make any additions and fixes from earlier release cycles
v10.0.x	Full release

Core¶

SQL Library Database¶

An improved SQLite-based library save file format in which legacy JSON libraries are be migrated to.

Note

See the "Library" section for features related to the library database rather than the underlying schema.

Core Library + CLI¶

A separated, UI agnostic core library that would be used to interface with the TagStudio library format. Would come with a CLI to allow for interfacing with scripts and external programs, and to make bulk operations easier. This would be licensed under the more permissive MIT license to foster wider adoption compared to the TagStudio GUI application source code.

Core Library [v9.9.0]
CLI [v9.9.0]
MIT License [v9.9.0]

Format Specification¶

A detailed written specification for the TagStudio tag and/or library format. Intended for used by third-parties to build alternative cores or protocols that can remain interoperable.

Format Specification Established [v10.0.0]

Application¶

UI/UX¶

Settings¶

Library¶

Library Mechanics¶

Entries¶

File or file-like entries stored in the library.

Tags¶

Discrete library objects representing attributes. Can be applied to library entries, or applied to other tags to build traversable relationships.

Search¶

Macros¶

Sharable Data¶

Sharable TagStudio library data in the form of data packs (tags, colors, etc.) or other formats. Packs are intended as an easy way to import and export specific data between libraries and users, while export-only formats are intended to be imported by other programs.
