           Summary: Make use of symlinks
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: michal at thoma.cz


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Sometimes I do use symlinks in my workflow. For example I copy images from
archive folders to export folders as symlinks (I use Krusader for that).

The digikam will display symlink, this is ok. Though it will not indicate that
this not not the original image but symlink. I think this should be indicated.

Another problem is that when I edit matadata of the symlinked image, the
symlink actually converts into the original file and original file on archive
location turns invalid (0 byte).

I think ability of creating symlinks is very beneficial for any DAM software.
It enables to sort same data in more then one physical structure. Copying
symlinks to export folder is typical example.
