[digiKam-users] Adding tags by existence of another (parallel) file

[Peter Teuben]

I have a script that reads a .caption file per album, and updates the 
album caption in digikam for this.

this could be a good starting point. If you use sqlitebrowser and look 
at the data structure it's pretty obvious what to do.

i just started refactoring my python scripts, it's in github, you could 
see if you want to tag onto this.
