Hi Christian,
how do you search your photos? Do you do it in DT, or in digikam? Do you
use digikam primarily for photo management?
I don't have experience with digikam, just have done some reading about it.
Can digikam make use of the metainfo created by DT?
I use mac at home, so I wonder if the following workflow would work:
- import and edit by DT
- export from DT to iPhoto, and do all management in iPhoto (rating,
tagging, metainfo)
Regards,
Tony
