What you need is to use both left and and right panels at the same time. For example, choose an album in the left panel and then narrow down the search to a certain star rating or something else using the right panel.</div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.</div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: durchblick <quaddle@posteo.sk> </div><div>Date: 2017-12-15 1:24 PM (GMT-07:00) </div><div>To: digikam-users@kde.org </div><div>Subject: Unsure about left pane (albums, tags, labels, ... ) and filtering </div><div><br></div></div>Hello,<br><br>finally I have time (and necessity) to dive into digikam which has many<br>features. I fail to understand something about the filtering, I tried to<br>understand from the manual and this ML<br><br>I got a huge image collection (16000+) seperated into 4 albums. (I needed to<br>split because they are on a network share and performance was terrible.)<br><br>Now I want to sort/classify/tag images (e.g. vacation, work, project,<br>photography, ...). The left pane views are very helpful and quite intuitive,<br>I like timeline and dates!<br><br>But it seems to be impossible that selections made in albums view will be<br>... locked ... for the next view. Say, I select certain collections, but<br>when switching to timeline, I filter on all albums again, when showing only<br>with 3 star rating, it is all over again.<br><br>From what I read I can use the right pane filtering mechanism to "emulate"<br>that expected behaviour (tagging and labels) but I wanted to make sure I<br>didn't get it wrong.<br><br>What do you suggest how I could/should handle this?<br><br>digiKam (latest avail on fedora 25)<br>Version 5.6.0 Build date: Jun 22 2017 (target: release)<br><br><br><br><br>--<br>Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html<br></body></html>
