[Digikam-devel] Utility script for digikam

[Rainer Krienke]

Hello,

I am using digikam for management of my digital photos. One thing I was
missing was to export virtual folders i.e. images that share the same tags to
the filesystem so that other applications can access such a virtual folder.

Since I did not find a way in digikam to this, I wrote a small perl script
that opens the digikam.db file and extracts all images that have been tagged.
It then creates a subfolder for each tag name found and then places symbolic
links to the original images inside these folders for the images with this
tag. The script depends on the sqlite application to access the database.

I would happily provide this script for inclusion into digikam if you think
that this would be a goog idea.

The initial version of this script is attached to this mail.

Have a nice day
Rainer
