[digiKam-users] On This Day

[Dougie Nisbet]

I can see how to do a date range search, so I guess I could put midnight 
to midnight from a previous year (although trying just now accidentally 
put start and end date the same which seems to have caused a freeze). 
That would be useful, but what I was looking for was something that 
would return all images on a particular date in a year, for all years. 
e.g. All photos for 27 mar in the range 2000 to 2021.

[later ... It's not frozen. There's no status indication that a search 
is running and could take a long time. Ok, just be patient.

Actually I've noticed I can do it by using a text search on filename, 
since all my photos contain the date taken as part of the name. Which 
can also be done on the command line in Linux using 'locate'.]
