[Digikam-users] Arrange photos in calendar mode by create date

[Stuart T Rogers]

Thanks again for the suggestions, however setting a date for an album 
does not resolve the issue.

My albums contain photos from various dates because they are grouped by 
content and not date. Therefore splitting the calendar view by album is 
for me useless, what I need is a calendar display which simply displays 
all the photos in date/time order irrespective of which album they are 
in or the date/time of that album.

As far as I can tell this is not possible. I'm fairly sure that in the 
past in earlier versions of digikam this was the way the calendar view 
worked.
