As a temporary hack, untested:
o move all pictures you want on the dvd to common subfolder, e.g. dvd1,
with digikam (preserves tags)
o backup dvd1/ subtree to dvd
o Just to be sure:
mv ~/Pictures/dvd1/ ~/Pictures-on-dvd.bck
cp ~/Pictures/digikam3.db ~/digikam3.db.bck
o mount dvd, as ~/PicturesDVD1/dvd1/ # ~/PicturesDVD1 has to be writeable
so can't be on DVD
o cp ~/Pictures/digikam3.db ~/PicturesDVD1/
o start digikam with $HOME/PicturesDVD1 library path. See comment #8
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102412. Feel free to
vote for the wish, despite it's status being RESOVLED :)
when you start digikam with the PicuturesDVD1 library path is will ask to
remove all photos not save on dvd, and when you start with normal library
path it will ask to remove everything you saved on DVD. but this should be
fine.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
