Summary: Storage of images on removable media
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Unlisted Binaries
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: miko users sourceforge net
Version: 0.8 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from: Unspecified Linux
OS: Linux
I would like to store some images on removable media (like DVD), but after I remove a DVD - I do not want to loose metadata or thumbnails generated, so I could find images "by tags" and then remount my DVD as required.
Supposing ~/.digikam/removable is a special directory, when digikam is started, it would not delete information for files in this directory from the database even if it is missing.
Ideally, digikam could store thumbnails of "missing" files in separate "cache directory", so it could present it in the list. Digikam would "ask" to mount a removable media when user tries to access the image (for printing/editing/etc).
I could make an empty directory for every removable disk, like ~/.digikam/removable/dvd001, ~/.digikam/removable/dvd002 etc, but it would be nice if digikam could use label from the media and could automagically mount my dvd001 under ~/.digikam/removable/dvd (so I guess every folder/directory would have an addidional ID of removable media, which could be a label of the removable disk).
Summarizing, I would like to have access to all metadata (tags, comments, and maybe even thumbnails) even if there is no image accessible at the moment, but I would like some help from digikam o help me locate it on my removable media.
