           Summary: Make link instead of copying when adding image to the
                    album
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: piotrlg sci pam szczecin pl


Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-2 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.4

I have seen similar whichlist report, but the answer were not satisfactory to me ;-) the problem is still there and it should be easly (?) resolved. 

I was looking for a tool to organize them, make comments etc. digikam looks VERY promising, but...

I have hundreds of scanned photos of many different types (family, nature etc) and they are mixed (ie in the same directory are photos of my family, nature, landscapes, macro etc). 

When I add image to the album this image is *copied* to the album location. this is realy wrong. Scanned images could have 40MB or more, so this is wasting of hdd space.

The only solution is making links to them. So when image is on the disk already just link, not copy.

Thanx for this nice programm and regards
