"Flat" cancels that grouping.</div><div><br></div><div>You might want to read DAM section of the digikam handbook.

You state:<br><br>"There are numerous ways in digikam to do that - tags (keywords), pick<br>labels, color labels, star rating. You can just tag all the images with one<br>of the above listed options and use digikam search tab in the left panel to<br>find them all"<br><br>The problem when I do this, as far as I can see, as I have stated, is that<br>the photos are then segregated by "album" (i.e. directory of origin). So<br>one camera's photos are shown first, then another camera's photos, etc. We<br>want them all together, especially when sorted by date. So if one views a<br>week of photos from multiple cameras, the photos are shown in order by date,<br>not grouped into separate sets for each camera.<br><br>Is there some option I am missing?<br><br>Ah, yes yes there is! I looked around some more, there is under the "view"<br>menu an item "group images" and one can group them by "flat" which is what<br>is needed! Okay that's a relief!<br><br>"You don't have to write a script to rename your images."<br><br>I am comfortable writing a script, but I will look into the powers of<br>digikam in this regard as well, thanks, although I think for now given the<br>above discovery it is moot.<br><br><br><br><br><br>--<br>Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html<br></body></html>
