Hide versions created with "save as new version"

[Fabien Steinmetz]

 Hello,
I found a way to do this by modifying the database directly.This worked on my setup with digikam 7.9.0.
Use this at your own risk.

   
   - First close digikam and make a backup of your digikam database.
   - In the Tags table, search for the "id" value for the "name" "Current Version". For me it was "4" but may be different for you.
   - In the Images tables, search for the original picture and note its id (which in the other tables is names imageid).
   - Then in the ImageTags table, you should have a record having the imageid of the original picture and  the tagid value for "current version".
   - Delete that record.
   - Reopen digikam, it should now behave as if you had clicked.   


These are 2 SQL statements you may want to adapt and use. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

To search for the imageid for which to remove the record inside ImageTags:
select * from imagetags, images, ImageRelationswhere images.name like "%pattern_in_picture_filename%" and imagetags.imageid = images.idand imagerelations.object = images.idand imagetags.tagid = (select id from tags where name = "Current Version");

To remove the record of ImageTags:
delete from imagetags where imageid = PUT_IMAGE_ID_HERE and tagid = (select id from tags where name = "Current Version");

 The "save as new version" function does exactly what it is supposed to do, it 
creates a new version, an independent image. This means that the original 
image is not hidden.
