Description Pierre Lambion 2004-10-21 21:37:42 UTC
Version:           0.7-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

In addition to 'Bug 91372: make searching for multiple tags possible' that suggests supporting boolean operators to combine tags in a search for pictures, it would be nice to support virtual folders based on such queries, like available in Kmail.

Examples (I think it covers whish 91372):
- search for all pictures with John in NewYork: People/John AND Places/NY
- all pictures with Bob at the museum except those where he is with John: (People/Bob AND Place/museum) NOT People/John

Such a search could then be saved as a dynamic folder.

In addition to that:
wish: handling of subdictionaries
I would like digikam to have the possiblity to find pictures in
subdictionaries in the albums of the album folder. I know that there
is the virtual possibility to handle this via collections, but as
the album-folders also represent the physical structure of the
stored pictures and sometimes I would prefer to browse via konquerer
through them, it would be nice if digikam would allow me have a more
structured folder structure. BTW: I would be also nice to enhance
the virtual organisation structure of digikam with the possibility
to put single pictures in more then one "virtual" album. E.g. a
picture could belong at the same time in the collection: friends and
last party. Having such a virtual structure would allow to keep only
one copy of the picture.
(This was originally a wish postet via HELP-Report.. to sourceforge-list, but was reject by mailserver. Then I found out, that it is also possible to report here. So I just add here my comment, because at least partly the suggestion is simular)

Beyond the search, we should be able to select a folder and multiple tags. So if I select the folder "Vacation 2004" and Ctrl click the tags "good" and "friends", just the photos labeled good AND friends of the 2004 vacation should be displayed. 

All the operations, like exporting a HTML album, should work just in the filtered images. 

It would be a great feature for version 8.0.

This wish is implemented and will be available in digiKam 0.8. Besides the quick search there will be an extended search. For both the query can be saved and can be accessed in a similar way as a folder or a tag.
