Reorganizing every thing

digikam-2
Hi,

I have my images over 3 different drives (from all over the years) and
I want to reorganize everything and move them onto a single drive to
cleanup the mess.

How do I create the collection?

* 1 collection
* 1 collection per drive?

Eventually, all images will be deleted from these 3 drives and be
moved to the new drive.

I combined mine in a logic volume using lvm2 and mounted the whole thing as /mnt/pics and used it as the collection in digikam.

You can also mount all the drives in the same folder e.g.
Drive A /mnt/pics/a
Drive B /mnt/pics/b
Drive C /mnt/pics/c
and then use /mnt/pics as the collection.

If they are years of pictures instead of a b c you could use "2002-2006" , "2007-2010", 2010-2018" etc

Make sure to backup everything before moving around
