--- Comment #8 from Ty Mayn <tyrus.m...@gmail.com> ---
I am hopeful to learn the workaround that Maik describes since it speaks to 2
features I described in this thread.
That is 1 from a collection(dynamic album) selected in MainViewer export
symlinks to a folder destination
2 provide manually sorting of the thumbnails representing a
collection(dynamic album)
I am using digikam with all metadata stored in database and no writes back
into imagefiles to purposely leave original files and filenames undisturbed .
Also wanting to avoid duplications even though I want to isolate named lists
for feeding to slideshow (which does not show a feature for list input )
In my newby testing I had created 2 symlinks on win10OS pointing to 2
imagefiles in my collection. I moved these into a new folder ( called
"dynamic") and added it to my albums database including "refresh" . The album
collection shows "dynamic" but with zero contents.
Maik pointed out the "local export" which I was unaware of (surrounded by
export to various web services which I am not using).
I selected 2 files for export and great they did allow symlinks to go out to a
target directory (I put that target outside of database albums). From that
outside,local directory I moved one symlink into that same "dynamic" folder
which is my most recent album added to the database and it continues to display
"0" contents (btw the symlinks were assigned identical name of the source
imagefile)
I would like to have the kind of "scratch" pad directory filled with symlinks
that I can either rename for sorting or manually drag and drop.... but I dont
know why the album/directory is empty (I am doing refresh from the R click
menu on the AlbumViewer)
I am excited to hope for what Maik describes as:
"You can even assign your own tags or labels to the symlinks within the
database."
I need rescue with more step by step of this workaround.
Thanks for guiding me along my learning curve
