Description Alexandre Belz 2022-01-30 10:18:38 UTC
Hello,
Thank you guys for this brillant software.

I've recently setup a "workflow" based on hierarchical "root" Albums to be able to identify what processing remains to be done on bunch of pictures (real Albums).

For instance, I have these root folders :
"1. First triage"
"2. Image tune-up to do"
"3. FaceTag to apply"
"4. GeoTag to apply"
"5. Finalized"
... and albums inside.

If I'm in a mood of just doing triage, for instance when I have the attention of my wife about our latest family holidays, I focus her time on doing the triage.  (shes does not care about other steps) .

Once all pictures of an Album have been processed, I move this Album to the next processing step = next root folder.
Currently, I using the mouse, and drag & drop the Album to his new destination. This is OK, but when I have several pages of Albums, scrolling is teadious.

I would love to additional "Move To" solutions, to improve workflow usability. 
I have in mind :
1) allow "Ctrl+M"  have an effect at the Album level  (from the Album browsing, left panel).
   Currently, Ctrl+M only moves one picture inside this Album, even if the Album is selected afterwards in the left Panel. 
   This sound almost a bug to me... ;)

2) Album.Right click."Move to ..."  could be added in the Album popup menun, Like in Microsoft Outlook.
    Recently used folders could appear there for even better usability.

3) Ctr+M+Number could be an additionnal shortcut to "Move To a defined album", such as Ctrl+M+3 = "Move To 3.FaceTag to apply".  Such preset destination would be defined in the Digikam Settings .

If Digikam preferes using another methodf to setup a Photo processing workflow , I can also study it.
But I still think that adding above feature would sometime helps.
