Description Steve Hill 2010-10-11 10:27:35 UTC

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

When I edit photos, I usually keep the originals in an "orig" directory within the photo's directory.  I don't usually want these originals to appear in the photo album in digikam, but there appears to be no way to exclude them.

Possible options that spring to mind:
1. Automatically ignore any directories with a ".ignore" file in them (or similar).
2. Add an option to the preferences to exclude from display any images that have a specific tag.

Reproducible: Didn't try
