[Digikam-users] Digital Asset Management (DAM) question: final formats, meta data and so on

[JD Rogers]

Hah!

My workflow:

1. Shoot lots pictures until I run out of space on the camera's storage.
2. Utter several expletives because (1) happened in the middle of an event
I wish to capture.
3. Use digikam to pull all photos from camera into my ~/photos/sort
directory with rename along the lines of jdr_[date]_[file]{range:5,}.

Note that I have no steps after (3). My sort directory has become rather
large. Sigh. I do at least occasionally rsync my sort directory.
