It would be very useful to have the option to put the original pictures and previous versions of an image in a (maybe hidden) sub-directory. Picasa used to proceed like this. When you modify an image and save the changes, the original is moved into a sub-directory and only the last version of the pictures remain in the directory. The main advantage is to maintain a clean view of the picture folders. You'll end up with the same view whether you look at a folder with digikam or a file explorer. Parts of my photo collection is stored on a network storage. If I want to show some pictures from any device browsing through the directories, I currently have all the versions of the pictures.
Is this under consideration? I have the same problem where in other applications I have to see the original files before edits. A way to save original files to a sub directory or different folder hierarchy would be really useful. This is a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271672. Still valid on 6.4.0 and 7.0.0 beta 2.

It's a great project, producing a great piece of software and making it available for free. Still think that, from a management point of view, the matter should've been sorted out some time ago...
