Thanks for the Komododrop link.  I'll play with it.  It seems to be not so
much a solution to my problem, but a demonstration that most of the work has
already been done and it would be quite easy to take this software and
really build it into DigiKam.

Yes, you are right, I can drag and drop more than one at a time, so long as
they are in the same folder.  At the moment, I am getting organized and
tagging all my photos.  I only want to upload a small amount of them to
smugmug so I'd prefer to tag several albums then just drag the lot.  But
once I've tagged everything, my workflow will be just one folder I think.

cheers,
david
