I had thought I’d mostly organize by: [Date], [Place/Event], [People] (and also maybe photographic quality star rating). I started kicking the tires in Digikam and applied tags of Place and People in a sample directory that was already sorted by date, but ran into a speed bump when I tried to apply tag filters to narrow the selection. The filter function (right tools bar) seems to apply Boolean OR as to what is left in the main display when multiple tags are selected and AND is not avaialbe. I had envisaged being able to narrow searches based on these tags rather than expanding them. E.g If I’m looking for shots of Lisa skiing, I don’t want all skiing shots plus all Lisa shots. Is there something I’m missing about the Filters functionality or another way to get there?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>As background, I’d like to ultimately write the tags or other sortable information in each image’s metadata so that sorting is possible independent of platform.
