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, and are listed next to their names (e.g. Feature [v9.0.0]). They are eventually replaced with links to the version changelog in which they were completed in, if applicable.

Tip

For a more definitive and up-to-date list of features planned for near-future updates, please reference the current GitHub Milestones!

Core¶

SQL Library Database¶

An improved SQLite-based library save file format in which legacy JSON libraries are be migrated to. Must be finalized or deemed "feature complete" before other core features are developed or finalized.

Note

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

Core Library + API¶

A separated, UI agnostic core library that would be used to interface with the TagStudio library format. Would host an API for communication from outside the program. This would be licensed under the more permissive MIT license to foster wider adoption compared to the TagStudio application source code.

Core Library [v10.0.0]
Core Library API [v10.0.0]
MIT License [v10.0.0]

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¶

Plugin Support¶

Some form of official plugin support for TagStudio, likely with its own API that may connect to or encapsulate part of the the core library API.

Plugin Support [v10.0.0]

Library ¶

Library Mechanics¶

Entries ¶

Library representations of files or file-like objects.

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.
