Image search with wildcards/regexp/"OR"?

[Jens Benecke]

Hello Maik,

thank you!
However, this would not be practical for me with 20..200 alternative 
search terms (generated from a file listing or reformatted 'exiftool' 
output).

My search term would look something like this (unwrapped) - with | being 
the "OR" character:

An alternative would be to directly modify Digikam's database to add a 
tag to images which have a named path.
I could then search by tag, and proceed further in Digikam.

I can script SQLite, I'd just need to know what to insert in which 
tables to not corrupt Digikam's database.
Is this a feasible way to go?

Regards,
Jens
