            Bug ID: 310153
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: [hidden email]
           Summary: Images are not visible in the Main Image Window of
                    Digikam, if the files are created as relative links.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: [hidden email]
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Albums GUI
           Product: digikam

digiKam
Version 2.2.0
Unter KDE 4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"

OS: openSUSE 12.1 (i586)

Problem: Images are not visible in the Main Image Window of Digikam, if the
files are created as relative links.

ls -l :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 klaus users 50 15. Nov 13:55 drittes_Bild ->

If I use absolute links, the image-presentation is OK.

Intention/workflow for using relative links:
Storing all of the images using the structure:
/Year/Journey/YYYY-MM-DD/imagenumber.jpg and
for every journey creating one directory with a selection of images:
/Year/Journey/selection/link_number.jpg   ---> these are relative links to
files stored in the YYYY-MM-DD-directories.
The selection-image-groups are base for my image-slideshows.
Using links instead of copies prevents additional amount of storage and
redundancy-free storing.
Using relative links instead of absolute links allows to copy the
image-collection and included the selection-directories to an external
backup/USB-device and then use this copy on a second PC (there either with
digiKam or another presentation-software).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build one directory with relative links and on with absolute links as part of
a structure of images
2.Present these directories in digiKam-Main-Window

Actual Results:  
Presentation is correct using absolute links, but not with relative links

Expected Results:  
DigiKam should present images based on relative links too

--- Comment #1 from Klaus <[hidden email]> ---
Addition:
Did a test under openSUSE 12.2 (i586) and Kernel 3.4.6-2.10-default i686 under
VirtualBox 4.1.6
DigiKam-Version 2.6.0
KDE 4.8.5 release 2
In this version the presentation of images as relative links is OK,
while the presentation of absolute linked images does not work.
The behavior of Digikam is quite opposite between versions 2.2.0 and 2.6.0

Because I can do what I want in version 2.6.0, you might close the call.
Otherwise: If it is important for you to make some investigations I can do some
tests if needed.
