Might not work for you but I pretty much always create a subdirectory to the raws for worked on files. Workflow is download from cam the raws - naming the folder the date I download them or date taken if only from one day of shooting. I then convert cr2 raws to DNG raws using Adobe's Raw Converter and remove the cr2 files to a backup disk. I do this mostly for tagging reasons. Then create a subfolder called something like "reduced" or "jpegs". Then any edited files get stuck in that subdirectory. So it is a bit of fiddling. Haven't explored how to get tags from tagged DNGs to automatically go to jpegs or whatever format yet, if possible. <br>
<br>As an aside - I really liked the feature that, when creating a new album, gave it the date for a folder name automatically. Seems that it doesn't do that anymore after a couple upgrades. But I'm just finally going through the manual - maybe there is a setting.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
New to DigiKam, so still working through some basic issues. Actually new to Linux so be kind (Using Ubuntu).<br>
<br>
I like the DigiKam a lot as it has very similar workflows to me and operates in a way that I find intuitive.<br>
<br>
Something I can't seem to figure out though is a way to visually highlight source files. I'll explain...<br>
<br>
My workflow is as follows (in the simplest form)...<br>
<br>
1. Import RAW data from digital camera<br>
2. Delete unwanted photos<br>
3. Convert RAW file to PNG/JPG for minor adjustments (depending on need)<br>
<br>
Consequently you have on the file system the source RAW files and derived JPG or PNG (depending on need) files.<br>
<br>
I have been using DigiKam to review and discard old images not wanted any more and noted that RAW files are shown exactly the same way as all other file types.<br>
<br>
Considering derived images can be replaced and source images can not, I was looking for a way to flag RAW (source) files so there is less of a chance of accidentally deleting the images (at least have me think twice).<br>
<br>
I know that source files could be in a variety of formats so I thought I could tag RAW files but can't seem to figure out how I might use this to flag/highlight the tagged items. Alternatively I can always separate source files from derived files in the file system but this is messier.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions would be appreciated or indications how others handle this problem.<br>
