Description Axel Krebs 2012-10-14 11:11:28 UTC
digiKam offers a serious number of picture relevant capabilities. 
It offers ways to incorporate pics ("import"), dealing with pictures (panoramas, versioning, white + coulour management etc.) and export options galore. 

When I work with my pics collection, I came across a topics, digiKam can _not_ deal with at all (as much as I understand): 
Many times, I need to derive several different versions of _one_ original picture. This can extend to different sizes, colours (white balancing, black-and-white), with or without signature (copyright information) and as many other possibilities, as digiKam offers the user. 

DigiKam sould be able to take care of _all_ versions, one drives from a specific picture.  I addressed this issue to "database" , as I assume this could be the key role for all management activities

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just run digiKam - missing function
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Right know, the users  forced to take care of all his pictures manually. This is
- time consuming (because of manual checking takes enormous time), 
- defective (as manual work is risky) 
- causes the risk of double work (when not beeing aware, that a pic can be locatetd on more than one location)
- can affect the basics of databases, as this affects nomalize requirement (to avoid doublettes)

... and more
 

Expected Results:  
digiKam should handle any version of everey pic of a collection consitently and thouroghly. 
When searchuing (or getting across) one picture, digiKam should show immediatelly _all_ existent versions of this pic. 

If so, one would be lead not to produce similar  or even identicall version or a second time.

This issue could connected to versioning and...? 

From my standpoint, this is a serious wish, to extend professionality of a pic management program.

Axel,

Requests in this file are confuse...

This sound like relevant to versioning support, already implemented since 3.x release... Right ?
