Greetings,
First of all, congratulations and thanks for the KDE4 port of digikam for being
totally awesome :)
I would like to request the following feature: when you use the advanced search
window, you can select to search within particular albums. I feel it would be
very useful (at least for my use case) if you could similarly search within
results of other searches as well. I am not sure if digikam uses SQL, but I
imagine something like SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ... ) WHERE ... .
My instinct tells me that it should be possible to implement without too much
trouble (though of course, there will be a performance hit because X searches
have to be made instead of 1).
As an example, imagine i have tagged photographs by place, by date, by persons.
I have a saved a search that returns the results of photos in my hometown last
summer. With the search-in-search feature I would be able to easily search for
my sister's photos last summer in my hometown. As for my actual case, I have
more complicated tags on separate folders, so it's much more of a hassle to
manually combine search conditions.
A possible complication would be what happens when searching in multiple saved
searches, so I think a restriction of using only a single saved search would be
a good choice (and the an additional search group could be used anyway).
