Summary: Photo organization should be independent of file
structure
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: helder gmail com
Version: 0.9-svn (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
"Digikam could just organize the photos without having to copy them and have its own internal organization indepedent of physical folders , just like amarok organizes mp3 without having to copy them to its own folder, it just keeps track of the computer folders we specify have mp3, but has its own organization."
Taken from
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116582 . I think it's a great idea that digikam should be able to make a database out of whatever image folders the user selects, without changing the file/folder structure, without the need to have all the images under the same root image folder, etc. As the original bug report says, that's how Amarok does it with mp3s. It has a separate mySQL (i think) database, where it keeps all information it generates and gets from the user. I think it also gives, as a *separate* feature, the possibility for the user to *choose* to have his file/folder structure changed to reflect the organization of the database.
It seems to me like a much more elegant approach to have albums/tags/comments/metadata/etc. separated from the folder structure.
