Hi all,
For some years, I've wanted to use digiKam in conjunction with `git-annex` to manage a few thousand photographs that I have. After some experimentation, I found that the best setup is to provide digiKam with a hardlink copy of the files.
(The specific reason for this is that, when creating .xmp sidecar files, digiKam follows symlinks, but in a `git-annex` repository, the directory containing the symlink target is read-only.)
So as a proof of concept[0], I created a script that I use to manage the parallel directory structure. It also handles ingesting and rotating files, but you can already do that with digiKam.
Let me know if you have any questions.
