I would like to specify something as "NOT (A AND B)", but I can't even
negate a single album name.

Under Searches/Advanced Searches the first item is "File, Album, Tags".  If you click on this item you can use the Album choice to limit the search to certain albums which is the same as excluding certain albums.

Then you could go to picture properties to set the date.

It seems to work just fine for me.  Good luck.

no, it's not the same
the same way I can include album NAMES (!) I want to be able to exclude
them as it was in digikam <1.0
e.g. I want to exclude all albums named "work", "temp" or similar that I
require for my workflow, but that may show intermediate processing results

Go to search in the left panel then click on advanced search.

click on "File, Albums, Tags" to expand it then click on the Album.  You'll use the top choice and once expanded you can click on  all of the albums you want to include.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to accomplish but this limits what you see to the selected albums.  I can't see why you would need to exclude albums you can't see but since it's what you've asked for what you need to do is go to the bottom of the search window and click on "+ Add Search Group".

This opens a second group that looks exactly like the first but it gives additional Boolean choices.  So if I understand what you want you should....

Click first on the "OR" to change it to "AND" and then click on "None of these conditions are met".  Then last you click on "File, Album, Tags" then like above you open the album choice and click on the albums that you don't want to see.

If you just want to exclude an album again go to find > advanced search >+add search group > Change OR to AND and select none of these conditions are met then  >file, albums, tags > Albums and select the albums you want to exclude.  Notice that nothing was set in the first group.

Hope that helps.

If your only interested in one tag go to the left bar select tags then click on the tag.  

If you want all images for several tags then use the advanced search leave album set to "any album" then go to tags and select the tags your interested in.  Notice if you select two or more tags your doing an OR search.

To do an AND search do like above for the first tag then open another group, click on OR to make it AND then turn on "Meet all of the following conditions".  Again leave albums as "any album" then go to tags to select the second tag.

I also have DigiKam 1.0.0l and this is working for me.
