State of Dev, August 2025

Joshua Ramon Enslin

The last months have been busy, off and on museum-digital. This is the first of three posts today on recent technical developments around museum-digital to continue the regular state of dev posts.

Development

musdb

  • Added a tool for the AI-aided detection of displayed subjects in images for tagging
    • Has to be explicitly turned on on a per-collection basis, as it makes sense only for certain types of objects (like paintings, drawings, photographs)
    • Usable within the tagging overlay on object editing pages
    • See also: blog post about the feature (German)
  • The maximum length of contents in the data field “edition” of literature entries has been extended to 50 characters
  • Uploaded PDFs may now be up to 40 MB large
  • New command line option to reset all permissions of a user account to the default provided by their user role
  • New event type: “Changed”

nodac

  • Added AI-generated suggestions for tag definitions and translations of tag names in a sidebar
    • This is also re-used to identify duplicate tags

Screenshot of a tag editing page in nodac, showing the new (August 2025) sidebar with AI-generated aids.

The right sidebar of tag editing pages in nodac now features AI-generated tag descriptions as well as possible translations for the title. These are also used to identify possible duplicates of a tag entry (top right, underlined in purple).
