[Digikam-users] Virtual (sub-) folders?

[Ben Staude]

Hi all,

in the software I'm currently using for organising my photos, there is 
something like "virtual folders": on any level of the folder hierarchy, I can 
create such a virtual folder and add pictures to it. For example: there is a 
folder 2010-08-01_vacation with hundreds of images. I create a virtual 
subfolder "show to friends" and add only those images that I want to show to 
my friends. There's no additional copy of those images on my hdd, they only 
exist as a link in the database.

Is there a way to do such thing in digikam? Of course I can use tags, but they 
are not part of the folder hierarchy, so the "show to friends" is in no way 
connected to the vacation folder!? Yes, I want to keep track of what pictures 
I showed to my friends, so I don't want to reuse this tag for the next 
vacation...

Thanks in advance
Ben
