Szenario:
I have a large number of digitized colour slides (approx. 2000). These were named alphanumerically by the automation process of the digitizing service. As there was no way to create tags and descriptions of the contents of the slides in advance, all images were returned without any further description.

Now it is my task to resort digitized images into "colour slide boxes" to make sure I got back all images as desired, and also to create meaningful tags and descriptions of them.

Another main task is to change the order of the images manually.
In analogue world I would have placed a pile of slides on a light table, resort images as needed (i.e. create a meaningful order that makes sense) and then return slides back into their box.

At the moment there is no way to resort/reorder images manually in digiKam, although there is a light table that helps with comparing images rather than change their order.

There actually is a program that does what I would like to see in digiKam, but as it is an external program and it is a Gnome application it is not my preferred way. The program is called AutoRenamer: http://marcin.owsiany.pl/autorenamer-page

Please note that I do not mean to rename files automatically by a given tag or by a given description, as this could be done in digikam and/or renaming tools of kde. What I need is a way to manually change order of images.

Reproducible: Always
