[Digikam-users] Multiple album roots - what's the point?

[Anders Troberg]

Maybe you can't look at just one of them, but you should be able to separate them logically by making the hierarchy deeper. Example:

Instead of having:

Album_root_1/photofolder_1 
Album_root_1/photofolder_2 
...
Album_root_2/scanfolder_1 
Album_root_2/scanfolder_2
...

you have:

Album_root_1/photos/photofolder_1 
Album_root_1/photos/photofolder_2 
...
Album_root_2/scans/scanfolder_1 
Album_root_2/scans/scanfolder_2
...

That should put things in a nice hierarchy, somewhat like:

photos
  photofolder_1
  photofolder_2
  ...
scans
  scanfolder_1
  scanfolder_2
  ...

Is that close enough?

I've not tested this yet, so big disclaimer that I don't know for sure if it would give the desired result.

I though that the new facility of having multiple album roots in 0.10.x and 1.0.0 onwards would actually be useful but I *really* can't see what difference it makes.

The albums *still* appear all in the same hierarchy.  Surely what's needed is a way to start digikam on different albums with no conenction between them.

What I was hoping for was to be able to separate my collection of pictures (as in photograhs I have taken) from my collection of scanned documents - but I can't.  I still see my documents album/folder when I'm looking at my pictures and I still see my pictures album/folder when I'm looking at my documents.

I want a way to tell digikam to start up either with 'this' hierarchy of albums or with 'that' hierarchy of albums with no visibility of one from the other.
