I was also thinking about such a feature until I discovered digikam with it's great tagging features. I think you don't need this linking feature because you can achieve this behaviour by not coping the pictures but instead use tagging to create virtual albums. Dominik I'v tried using tags, but I don't get it how could I use them to create albums. Using drag&drop from gqview, or just adding images are definitely the most intuitive and fastest way to create albums. So I vote for the link option. Regards Piotr I think this is bad idea. Much better would be adding of feature of "spread collection". *** Bug 134817 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Mikolaj, I agree, symlinks are not a good solution, I would suggest to close this as WONTFIX. What do you mean by "spread collection"? (If that is a better approach to the original problem, maybe you could create a new B.K.O for this and leave a pointer here?) Arnd, With KDE implementation, Marcel has started to implement multiple album path root support. Marcel, can you give us more informations about ? Gilles ... KDE4 implementation i want mean (:=))), dixit this recent commit #703521: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=703521 Gilles > What do you mean by "spread collection"?
Multiple root directories. The best collection management in that type -
IMO of course - in KDE is in Amarok.

Isn't then all covered in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107871 (i.e. couldn't we close this one here? ;-) Close definitely. The only decision is WONTFIX or DUPLICATE? :) ---------------------------------------------------- Z Krystyn Mik, Both. Dupplicate because support of multiple album root library path will solve the problem and because make a file link is a wrong idea... Gilles OK, marking this as duplicate as this gives more context information, also for Bug 107871. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107871 *** Multiple album roots is what you already said, you dont need to constrict yourself to one "library path" as it is now, but you can have multiple. The backend support is partly there, that's not too difficult anymore because since the database code has been merged into libs/database the relevant places have been prepared. Some SQL changes are still needed, and it all comes with the planned revision of the database schema (other parts of which still need discussion) Of course we will need a nice gui like in Amarok, a directory tree where you can select directories by check marks etc. Fixed with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107871 |
