Description
Describe the feature you'd like to request
First thank you very much for this greate piece of software!
I'd like to propose the inclusion of a feature to help identify and tag screenshots automatically. I understand that distinguishing screenshots from other images can be tricky, and there might not be a foolproof method. Still, having a feature that utilizes visual cues like user interface elements (buttons, menus, status bars) could greatly assist users in managing their media libraries more effectively (e.g. decluttering).
Describe the solution you'd like
The suggested solution involves integrating an algorithm that performs visual analysis on images, considering elements indicative of screenshots. While recognizing the challenge of achieving complete accuracy, this feature could substantially improve the organization of media libraries - Users could review the images tagged as screenshots and then decide how to handle them, whether opting for deletion or applying specific processing actions.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps it might be worth to additional explore the option of detecting a specific substring, such as "screenshot," within the filename. Another avenue could involve examining Exif data for relevant information. I'm open to any other ideas or approaches the community may have. Your thoughts and comments on this feature request are highly valued.
Thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

Research direction
The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating the existing media-tagging path and checking how filename and Exif metadata are handled; clarify whether those signals or visual analysis are in scope. Done would require an agreed detection approach, a screenshot tag, and validation criteria.
