[Bug 269929] New: Materilize searches using "virtual albums" containing images by links

Bugzilla from reiner.nix@web.de
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269929

           Summary: Materilize searches using "virtual albums" containing
                    images by links
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.5)
OS:                Linux

Scenario:
My computer is acting as DLNA server (using coherence) to export the images
allowing them to view on my great flat panel television. Unfortunately the
television just displays all images without considering tags, rating and so on.

So I have to display through the whole album. On the other side digikam as the
great feature to set up searches which can be configured over a wide range of
attributes.

Wish:
It would be great if digikam can materialize a search by creating a "virtual
album". I.e. it should create a folder in a specified location and puth the
images to it by linking them. (I guess that using soft links would be
sufficient.) In this way, I could view the images as specified by the search in
digikam using any other program, i.e. when exported by a DNLA server.

Of course I guess that images within the virtual albums should not be placed as
duplicates into the database.

Reproducible: Didn't try




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686
Compiler: cc

It will be more logic to have a DLNA interface for digiKam ?

I guess that adding a DNLA interface would require more logic. DNLA is based on
top of a Universal Plug and Play and allows to access and export media data.
Probably digikam can provide a plugin for an existing DNLA software.

On the other hand the DLNA interface provides access to the media but as far as
I can see, it not necessarily establishes a wide user interface, e.g. to
defines queries. So I guess that another way could be that digikam could
interface DNLA by creating a plugin which for each already defined query
exports a "virtual album", i.e. without creating a folder on filesystem with
links to the images.

Having a folder with links would have the benefit that this is based on well
proven OS mechanism and visible to all other kinds of applications.

I shall have a look at coherence. For my needs, I would like to have digikam an
integration with coherence, so that a presentation on the TV can be started and
possibly even controlled from within digikam. Not sure if this is possible with
the available DLNA stack.

Smit,

I reassign this entry to your DLNA Export tool since it will be available for
3.0.0 as a kipi plugin. We will not introduce a DLNA interface into digiKam
core...
