<div dir="ltr">Hey Steve,<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking of organizing the folders because they are coming from photorec recovery and don't have any sense how they are now. I'm pretty sure that I will have a lot of duplicates also, I hope digikam will help me out to sort them.The photos are not organized by digikam yet but I intend to use it and I hope to setted up correctly from the beginning. So maybe it could be a good idea to organize the folder first and then scan the new structure with digikam. I would like to move after that the entire photo gallery on the NAS and control everything remotely. I don't know how to automate the folders sorting in digikam so I plan to give a try these days to Rapid Photo Downloader to see how it works. Thanks for your feedback Steve.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 11, 2022 at 6:30 PM Steve Franks <<a href="mailto:stevef48@gmail.com">stevef48@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I would leave the folders as they are, but if you do decide to rearrange them do it in Digikam.

I speak from experience, as I'm still encountering duplicate images and misfiled photos from when I did that years ago.</div><div>Steve</div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
