[Digikam-users] Re: Organizing photos with Digikam

[Erick Moreno]

Hi Aleksuk,

You can use the simple Import Images wizard, try to type Ctrl+I.

You have a lot of folder with pictures over your disk. If you set your
picture collection in a empty folder, you can just import the images using
the wizard and perform some tasks while are import to do the things that you
want.

- Open Digikam and press Ctrl+I
- Choose the folder where the pictures that you want to import are

At this moment you are at the Import Images wizard

- Lookt at the right panel configurations, and set how digikam will rename
your files, how DK will create the folders and subfolders using exif
information and go. Others operations are allowed for .jpg files too.

DK will copy the files and put them at your collection folder using the
rules that you set up.

So, I think that this solve your problem.

Cheers,
Erick Moreno
