[Digikam-users] how do you select images for slide show?

[Eildert Groeneveld]

Dear All

after having tinkered around with a number of photo management packages
I have now installed digikam sitting on top of my developed JPG (after
they have gone through tagging and devloping in darktable).
digikam very nicely picks up the EXIF data when importing these JPGs so
that they can be nicely used for searchint etc.

Now I would like to create a number of slideshows for varying purposes,
like Vietnam-10min or/and Vietnam-30min so that I can mayby copy the
corresponding files to a memory stick for a slideshow presentation.

A simple and - as I find - logical way would be to create a list of
those filenames that I have selected in digikam and have them linked to
the original files. Sounds simple enough. In principle this would be a
sort of 'playlist'.

Unfortunately, I have not found anything of this sort. So how do you
people put a number of slides together for repeated use? making multiple
copies just does not seem wise.

Can the batch queue system help here? At least the CNTR B seems to
collect the file names.


I cannot really believe that I am the only person who does slide shows.

thanx in advance
