[digiKam-users] How to reorganize collections

[Eduard Zalar]

Hi,
you may write the metadata to the images. Then you can remove the three
collections and create the one you like.
1. Make sure to write ALL wanted metadata from the database to the images:
1.1. Go to Tools -> Maintenance
1.2. In the "Common options", select "Whole albums collection".
1.3. In the section "Sync Metadata and Database", select "From database to
image data".
1.4. Press the "Settings..." button to see which data is written to the
metadata and adjust to your needs.
1.5. Click "OK" to run the sync.

2. Remove your three collections.

3. Add the root folder for your desired one collection.
3.1. All metadata which was written in step 1 is read from the images and
added to the database again.

Regards
 Eddie
