Hi

Settings => Gallery => Expert Settings (at the top)

Then you should be able to see them:

Though depending of your settings they might not be immediately visible. E.g. in my case I have the details on "hover"

If I set it to always:

Then the metadata are always visible:

You can also create tag albums:

And you can also access the list of all your existing tags in the Left menu:

Thank you very much for your quick response! Ultimately, it's not at all what I thought it would be... I was imagining a list of clickable tags in each album, something like a filter. Nevertheless, I really like the app. I have one last question, if I may: is there a way to make the tag cloud in the left sidebar “public”? Thanks again, dB.

I was imagining a list of clickable tags in each album, something like a filter.

That can definitively be added. If you don't mind creating a new discussion in category "idea" with a small drawing of what you would expect that would help clarify the idea. :)

I have one last question, if I may

You always may. :)

is there a way to make the tag cloud in the left sidebar “public”?

I have not considered that functionality yet. That may be considered in the future but I have a few other things in progress before.

By the way, I see that you are running php8.3, I would strongly advise you to migrate to php8.4 or even better php8.5. The reason being that the next release of Lychee will not work on 8.3. LycheeOrg has a policy to stay sync with the Active Support of php and not on the Security fixes period.

Thank you for these details. For your information, I had to allocate PHP version 8.3 to Lychee, as recommended by my web host (Web Hosting Canada), due to an “incompatibility between the installation components (Composer, Laravel, or other) and the PHP 8.4 version used.” In 8.4, it was impossible to log into the gallery, and I always got this message: “session expired please reload the page.” Finally, it might be important to mention that I installed Lychee via Softaculous, which may be the cause of some problems... In any case, thank you very much for following up on this discussion, and long live Lychee :) dB. PS: Your name leads me to believe that you have French origins... if that is the case and you are fluent in the language, please feel free to communicate in French if it makes things easier... I am from Quebec :) ... dB.

I am running Lychee on multiple set-up with php8.4.
Our base docker image is also installing php8.4 from trixie and all our tests are passing with 8.4 and 8.5 so I find this very surprising.

I think softaculous may need to have a look at this quite urgently if I may. Because otherwise the newer version won't work and that would suck to lose on the new features (currently working on photo ratings) and security fixes.

PS: yes I'm French. :)
