Hello !<br>
<br>
I'm trying to use <b>Digikam (v. 7.3.0 Win64)</b>, for replacing my
present pictures management software (Photools imatch) that I find
much too complicated, akward to use and poorly suited to some very
basic fonctions.<br>
<br>
My present question is <b>how to import into Digikam the
hierarchical categories I'm presently using</b> (syntax is like <u>Persons.Family.FamilyCell.Child
X</u> or <u>Information.Culture.Civilization.Italian Roman</u>,
with up to 5 levels of indentation). The list of categories is on a
<u>text file</u>. I need to import it, so as to be able to assign
one or several categories to each new picture.<br>
The import operation must be automatic, since the category list
comprises now over 1200 entries.<br>
<br>
I hope there is a means to do this. If not, I will not be able to
use Digikam in a better way than now, i.e. as picture (and tag)
viewer.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance, and kind regards<br>
<br>
