I just checked the package reporisotry - there is no newer version  
than 0.9.4. Currently I don't see that my situation would improve that  
much by upgrading to 0.10, because I would have to compile this from  
source. But I hope I will be able to check it out in Virtualbox to  
take a look at it.

Not really. All documents ever produced on a computer since 1996 are  
stored in this tree. The documents that are that old are mostly  
DOS .txt files, but they are still there.
Because my dad thinks quite a bit when he does something the tree is  
organized in a practical well and handles the documents and  
corresponding photos very well. I don't think we have to switch to  
something else in the near future. A reason for this is that the users  
are very well trained which files go where and stuff.
The problem with that tree is: Over 10 years ago it was not designed  
with digikam in mind. ;-)

Thanks,
