Hi,<br>
<br>
i need your advice. I frequently select images which are spread across<br>
several albums. I would like to have a possibility to save this selection<br>
so i can eventually pause the selection process and resume another day or<br>
to be able to check and change something. As an example, lets say i look<br>
for images with trees for a later export to a web album or photo book.<br>
<br>
For now, i create a tag, e.g. book/trees. This approach works fine, but<br>
each tag changes the db and also the image, so unnecessary backups are<br>
triggered. Not a huge problem, but is there a more elegant way to do this,<br>
maybe without touching the image?<br>
<br>
And then once the selection is fine, how do you export them to another<br>
application? In the ideal case we could create a 'pseudo' album just<br>
containing links and use that as an input for e.g. a photo book SW. But<br>
currently this is not possible.<br>
<br>
HP, happy digikam user since years<br>
