<div dir="ltr"><div>In February there was discussion about having a dynamic album
function that could be a container for image files harvested from
any of the search and display tools in digikam. I advocated there is a
need for playlists that can be fed to slideshow without creating
duplicate image files as the feed.</div><div> A bug entry was created for the "feature"</div><div><a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449968" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449968</a></div><div>In
the #6 entry of that discussion Maik pointed out that the existing
feature of exporting symlinks to a local directory could act as a
"dynamic album" or playlist.</div><div>In #11 post optimism was revised
to recall another bug that exists making the symlink export non
functional for QT code on Windows 10</div><div> That prior bug post remained unresolved as of 2016 and it still seems to exist <br></div><div>There is also some unanswered question whether a hardlink would behave differently than the .LNK generated by digikam<br></div><div><a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44639" target="_blank">https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44639</a></div><div>
Neither of the 2 bug topics have been declared priority for the next
upgrade, and i believe they should be solved for Windows</div><div>
The concept of saving local symlinks or hardlinks could function as a
work list or play list tool and was an intended function years ago. <br></div><div>I
would like to hear from Linux users if it is working and how it does as
a playlist feed for preparing (and sorting) images for a slideshow.</div><div>
since I have to continue collaboration with a Win10 user I would
welcome hearing a declaration to remedy these 2 bug topics that seem to
deprive Win10 users of a good tool</div><div>Thanks <br></div><div>Tyrus</div></div>
