exclude one folder from album list

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Hello, good morning

Can I exlude a folder from the album list, if so: how?

Problem: my digikam album tree is on its own partition /digikam_alben
This partition contains the kde trash.
When I delete images within an album they get moved to the trash folder, but
as the trash folder also is within the same partition (=album tree), digikam
scans this folder with all the actions, thumbnails etc.
This makes deleteing very slow, especially when I delete complete
albums/folders.

Can I somehow tell digikam that the folder .Trash-1000 and its subfolders are
not part of the album tree and should be ignored?

thanks for hints

Daniel

No.

Go and vote for this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123097 and
let's see if we can't get this added to digikam.

reminded somewhen....

You could create a new folder in the root, say "Photos", make it the root of an new collection and then move the tree of images into it. Then the trash folder would be outside the collection.



I haven't used digiKam for a while, so I'm assuming you can have multiple collections, and that it's allowable to remove the first one once everything has been moved.  I'd back everything up before starting, including the database.

to manage the folders, one can use link in place of true folders,
linking only the necessary folders to Digikam albums. Sub folders are
seen, but not brother (same level) not linked folders

Yes, of course I could to that. Problem is, that I have the same structure on
several computers, plus DVD's that would get inconsistent in regard of file
pathes, plus external drives where rsync would delete all files and then write
them again in the new folder, plus rename encrypted partitions, change fstab,
cypttab, adjust backup-scripts etc. etc. So quite a piece of work, plus pathes
getting longer without a real need, and with several 1000 large imgs moving
folders in digikam is quite a time consuming task, too...

Anyway, I think https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123097 really has some
importance. There are many other reasons, too, why one would like to exclude
one or more folders from the digikam album tree...

I also don't see why hidden folders (like .trash) are included by default.
Hidden should be hidden and ignored by default, shouldn't it?

Maybe we get some more votes there and/or our dear hardworking digikam
developpers have a heart for poor album-stressed guys and implement that wish.
Shouldn't be too much of a task, wouldn't it?

kind regards

Daniel

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the right venue for this kind of a
question:

What is a "Leaf tag" ?

Example:
#: picasawebwidget.cpp:169
msgid "Leaf tags only"
msgstr ""

It's in the kipiplugins-picasawebexport, so it may be used
in digiKam (I'm not subscribed to the KIPI mailinglist).

Is there a difference between a "Leaf tag" and a tag-field?
Can someone explain?

Thanks,

Sveinn í Felli

In digikam tags are structured in a tree. That means you can have a tag
hierarchy like

tagRoot
|-r
| |-a
| |-b
|-x
   |-c
   |-d

a, b, c and d are leaves of the tag tree because they haven't got any
children. r and x have childrean and thus are nor leaf-tags.

Regards,
Johannes

Hi there,
I support Daniel's idea .. from a photographer's point of view it is
important to be able to select the folders you wish to be managed -or
not managed- by a tool .. from a programmer's point of view, there are
lots of easy workarounds. For us stupid users/photographers those are
often not as easy :-(
Cheers
Hans

Thanks for this clarification.

So a "Leaf tag" could be similar to an "End tag" or a
"Non-parent tag" ?

Not sure if this branch/leaves analogy is applicable in all
languages.

Again, thanks a lot.

I agree, my solution was just a workaround, obviously not suitable in this case.
