[Digikam-users] Managing workflow - how to manage NEF, PNG, JPG versions of same file?

[Simon Cropper]

Hi,

Photos copied to my 'albums/folders' are done so as RAW files. These are 
essentially my digital negatives.

I then work through a set workflow...
- view each file; delete out of focus or poorly exposed images
- Use digikam to bulk convert the remaining files to PNG
- Work on each file; crop, adjust curves, apply filters, etc
   usually using GIMP.
- Edited files are then converted to appropriate format for end use,
   e.g. JPG for webpages, PNG for reports.

Is there any way of...
- associating 'versions' of the same file together?
- having a file created when a batch process is done recording what was 
done?

Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
