I  went and downloaded BibbleLite and produced a .bib file. "file" evaluates it
to be:

"ASCII text, with very long lines"

So, an extension search would seem to be a good idea.

Not sure if I misunderstand your proposal. But its not a search option I was
asking for. When selecting to see all files in an album you need to see icons
of those .bib files along with the photos in the same directory just like in a
in a file manager. Of course I would not want to digikam to process these
files in any way. Just make them visible.

This way you can move, copy or remove the photos along with their bib files.
Else its hard to control if there are any lonely .bib files left for which
there is no Raw file any longer in a particular directory since some of the
raw files have been deleted or moved elsewhere.

Thanks
Rainer

I was mostly commenting how I (or someone more savvy) would implement your
wishlist item, programmatically. I was saying that the way .bib files are
detected would have to be by extension (.bib files) if none of the tools
available could detect the difference between a file with lots of text in it
with very long lines (how one of the utilities used to detect filetypes saw it
as), instead of saying "Bib file" and having a utility that could say "Even
though it's named image.foo, I know it's a Bibble file". Did I explain that
well?

I definitely understood your wishlist item, I just wanted to see if it was
easy enough for a newbie like myself to handle, and if anyone on the dev team
had an opinion before I took a crack at it.

To all,

please comment in Bugzilla web interface, else your post will be limited to mailing list and history will be uncomplete in bugzilla.

Mailing list messages alive is sort. Bugzilla is more powerfull and nothing is lost.
