http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124411         
           Summary: Make link instead of copying when adding image to the
                    album
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: piotrlg sci pam szczecin pl


Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-2 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.4

I have seen similar whichlist report, but the answer were not satisfactory to me ;-) the problem is still there and it should be easly (?) resolved.

I was looking for a tool to organize them, make comments etc. digikam looks VERY promising, but...

I have hundreds of scanned photos of many different types (family, nature etc) and they are mixed (ie in the same directory are photos of my family, nature, landscapes, macro etc).

When I add image to the album this image is *copied* to the album location. this is realy wrong. Scanned images could have 40MB or more, so this is wasting of hdd space.

The only solution is making links to them. So when image is on the disk already just link, not copy.

Thanx for this nice programm and regards
Piotr L.

I was also thinking about such a feature until I discovered digikam with it's great tagging features. I think you don't need this linking feature because you can achieve this behaviour by not coping the pictures but instead use tagging to create virtual albums.

I'v tried using tags, but I don't get it how could I use them to create albums. Using drag&drop from gqview, or just adding images are definitely the most intuitive and fastest way to create albums. So I vote for the link option.

I think this is bad idea. Much better would be adding of feature of "spread collection".

Mikolaj, I agree, symlinks are not a good solution,
I would suggest to close this as WONTFIX.

What do you mean by "spread collection"?
(If that is a better approach to the original problem,
maybe you could create a new B.K.O for this and leave
a pointer here?)

Arnd,

With KDE implementation, Marcel has started to implement multiple album path root support.

Marcel, can you give us more informations about ?

Multiple root directories. The best collection management in that type -
IMO of course - in KDE is in Amarok.

Close definitely. The only decision is WONTFIX or DUPLICATE? :)

Mik,

Both. Dupplicate because support of multiple album root library path will solve the problem and because make a file link is a wrong idea...

OK, marking this as duplicate as this gives more context information,
also for Bug 107871.

Multiple album roots is what you already said, you dont need to constrict yourself to one "library path" as it is now, but you can have multiple. The backend support is partly there, that's not too difficult anymore because since the database code has been merged into libs/database the relevant places have been prepared. Some SQL changes are still needed, and it all comes with the planned revision of the database schema (other parts of which still need discussion)
Of course we will need a nice gui like in Amarok, a directory tree where you can select directories by check marks etc.
