Digikam: to archive sorted by date

Hello Digikam-Team,

I use the Version 0.6.0 of Digikam in german language. It is a great program,
which is very good to handle my digital photos. In the normal case I see my
folders and photos sorted by the date of creation. But now I have a problem.
I want to archive my photos an a CD. Within your program is an opportunity to
do that. However, under the point Album-->Archive on CD (or something
similar) within your program the folders are sorted by name and not by date.

How can I archive my photos periodically by using a sorting by date and not by
name?

With regards
Marko

Hello again,

thank you jdd for your answer.

The sorting by date for example in K3b or in Konquerer is not the same like in
Digikam. I sorted a folder in Digikam by date and the same folder in k3b by
date too. But the order of this folder with it's photos and subfolders is
differently in both programs. Apparent Digikam uses another date to sort than
K3b or Konquerer. Notice, the order in Digikam (sorted by date) is the right
one, which i do prefer. There must be another solution for my problem. Have
you one?

with best regards
Marko

Hello jdd,

I'm sorry, but unfortunately I do not speak french, so I could not understand
Your linkend homepage http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/CEDA.

I do not understand Your clue with jhead too, because I do not want to change
my photos or information which are included in them, just burn the photos on
cd. Do you know another solution for my problem. Have you not the same
difficulty with the order by date like I have, if You want to backup your
photos?

Best regards
Marko

I always backup first my photos in raw manner, right
downloaded from the camera.

then I do a copy and edit them with digikam

here I sort them by date (albums) and index them (labels) -
these files I can act on the date if necessary. and it is
necessary because I add some "panels" (backpaper with text)
as a legend for galleries and theses files are not dated
like the photos - same problem with scanned argentic ones.

I have only yet a problem with the html plugin, wich do use
the raw writing order of the files in they folder to sort!
last written last indexed in the html index page :-(

I have a solution, but quite unpleasant: with konqueror cut
the albums/folder to an other folder (~/tmp ?) and back on
the digikam tree. like this all the files are written
(hopefully!) in the right order - you lose the album
preview, but it's quite easy to set

Hello again,

Your idea does not work. I tried it. By the way, I do not want to lose the
album preview, because it is the right one. Is there really no easier
solution?

Why does Digikam use another order by data than konquerer?

Of course, I can take a pencil and write down the unbackuped folders by using
the order given in Digikam. In K3b I can search these unbackuped folders and
burn them. This way is an unpleasant solution too, I think. Is there another
way?

Best regards
Marko

it works, even in digikam.

create a new album, select the images, drag and drop in the
new folder, html export will be good.

the same thing works even if the sorting of image is used (I
tryed that just now, with sorting by sise)

I don't really follow your point.

my post quoted there up is about html export, not k3b?

anyway, I name my albums by they day date, so sorting is not
a problem :-)
