           Summary: Materilize searches using "virtual albums" containing
                    images by links
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: reiner.nix at web.de


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Scenario:
My computer is acting as DLNA server (using coherence) to export the images
allowing them to view on my great flat panel television. Unfortunately the
television just displays all images without considering tags, rating and so on.

So I have to display through the whole album. On the other side digikam as the
great feature to set up searches which can be configured over a wide range of
attributes.

Wish:
It would be great if digikam can materialize a search by creating a "virtual
album". I.e. it should create a folder in a specified location and puth the
images to it by linking them. (I guess that using soft links would be
sufficient.) In this way, I could view the images as specified by the search in
digikam using any other program, i.e. when exported by a DNLA server.

Of course I guess that images within the virtual albums should not be placed as
duplicates into the database.

Reproducible: Didn't try




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686
