            Bug ID: 303194
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.6.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Filemanagement xml-files
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: axel.krebs at t-online.de
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: digikam

I am wondering what is about the influence of extremely different file sizes
when using digiKam. With file systems, many are optimized on a statistical
distribution of files sizes, some new ones are optimized for large files as for
streaming media.

Some time back, a "size mixture" as under digiKam was fairly critical. Whereas
pics have sizes of about 15 MB (NEF) and 5 MB (jpg), the according xml-files
have just a few hundreds of bytes. 

Therefore: Does digiKam recommend certain files systems to avoid the bove
mentioned problems as ext3, etx4, or which else?

What is about left over xml-files, when related pics do not exist any more? 

Does digiKam provide a xml-file management? So, if erasing a pic, maybe even
variants of these, digiKam should erase accoring variants of correlated
xmls-files.

In other cases, a computer would accumulate small xml-files with the described
negative effects.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. digiKam should provide a xml file mangement
2. digiKam should minimize the total number of xml files
3.
