Proposal with more detail
Feature Request: digiKam Organizer Assistant plug-in, that connects to an LLM
of the operator's choice.
Many people already have a well-organized main photo/video archive, but also
have large unsorted folders from old hard drives, phone backups, SD cards,
recovered data, and duplicate copies. The two biggest problems are: (1) they do
not want to learn a complex new tool just to clean up one backlog folder, and
(2) they do not want to spend days or weeks sorting everything by hand.
I would like to suggest an optional digiKam Organizer Assistant: a controlled,
review-first assistant that can connect to an LLM of the customer’s choice,
while using digiKam’s own tools for the actual file analysis and organization.
The customer would point it to a folder on their computer, optionally point it
to an existing organized archive for duplicate checking, and then give simple
instructions such as organizing by date, renaming clearly, and flagging
uncertain items for review.
The Assistant could help with reading photo/video dates, identifying
camera/device information where available, renaming files, sorting them into
dated folders or albums, checking for duplicates against an existing archive,
and keeping a log of proposed and completed actions. The LLM should only help
interpret instructions and explain edge cases; digiKam itself should remain in
control of the actual operations. A prototype of this tool could be vibe-coded
realtively quickly, to see if it really makes sense to pursue.
This would remove two major barriers for ordinary people: “I have to learn the
software myself” and “I have to sort everything manually.” digiKam already
appears to have much of the core capability needed; what seems missing is a
guided assistant layer that ties those abilities together into a simpler, more
human-friendly workflow. If KDE added this, it could make digiKam stand out
strongly from other photo-management solutions.
Thank you
