It would be very nice if digikam could identify pictures by md5-sums like kimdaba does. If you tag an image, close digikam, then move it on your harddisk, its lost now.
In 0.8 there is a dialog, that the image is not where it used to be, but you cant do much about it, but moving it back. At this point digikam should search images in the root-directory, that are not in the database for checksums, and if they match the checksum of the "missing" picture, the path should be updated.

If its not clear what i mean, look at kimdaba, its done very nice there, and maybe you could even use parts of the code.

Digikam is very arkward to move folders or pictures around, i would prefer doing that in konqueror..
