I forgot to say I use Arch Linux, systemd-network and iwd
I solved the problem in a very simple way with IP aliasing
Just run
ip addr add 192.168.2.xx/24 dev wlan0

To make the change permanent, I add ethernet/digikam address in 
/etc/systemd/network/26-wireless.network

[Network]
Address=192.168.3.xx/24    #wireless
Address=192.168.2.xx/24    #ethernet added line

Subject: How to sort albums by name?
Message-ID: <39ba55a2-bbcd-42a6-8b23-60170f547394@orrenterprises.us>

I've noticed that in versions 9.0 and 9.1 that I have trouble sorting albums by name.

This is strange, because it used to work well. I've checked the documentation, and the process described there to invert the display order no longer seems to work for me.

What is most irritating to me is that it makes it much more difficult to work on a project relating to World War 2, which has more than 60 folders and 1350 files. The base data are scans made over the past ten years of archived prints and negatives from my family's history.

The folders are structured in a tree with YYYY MM DD description. Sub-folders are similarly named with Developed v1 and Developed v2 appended to the description. What I want is easily to locate images within each group.

I thought I could force the issue by individually changing the album date from the creation date to the earliest date of the folder name. This improved the situation a bit. However, what I got was 1941, then 1945 with months ascending, then 1944 with months ascending, then 1943 and 1942.

This seems strange to me.

I wonder what I need to do to get the album display to look and act more like Windows Explorer, which does what I want and expect.

Subject: What venue is best for keeping up with and learning about DigiKam?
Message-ID: <cf2f8f80-a8af-45d9-8622-93083b0edc01@orrenterprises.us>

I've been a DigiKam User for about 15 years. I started using it when my digital photo library was getting too large to handle. I found that I use only about 15% or so of its capacity, and I've been 95% happy with the results. For most of that time, I have relied on digikam-users email list to keep up with the new enhancements and to learn new work flows as well as get my questions answered.

I note that email has become passé for many users, who turn to other venues for information and inspiration.

Looking at Facebook yields an uncounted list of references, and the main digikam.org has nothing new to add other than announcements of updated versions. There are a lot of followers, though not much contribution from any of them, including me.

Looking at flickr, I noted that the most recent posts were eight years ago, with many as far back as 15 years. Seems to me that there is nothing here worth considering.

The most recent post on pixls.us seems to be from 2017. Again, seems to me that there is nothing here worth considering.

digikam support points to the r/reddit area. I note that when I search for specific issues, I often find a Reddit post, and sometimes it is useful. I'm not convinced yet that Reddit is authoritative.

So my quandry is: what is the preferred source of information and exchange of ideas. What do many or most users use?

Well, that depends on where you look on pixls.us, discuss.pixls.us is somewhat 
active (5 active threads the last few weeks), and questions do get answered 
there relatively quickly.

Of course, no thread starters means little activity. Not necessarily a bad 
thing, if it means there are few problems...

Outside Digikam, I add some new image files to Digikam's Album folders.
In Digikam, after an Album/Refresh, entries for new images appear in 
Digikam's database, as expected.
Is there a way to find out what new images Digikam has found?

Hi James,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your long-standing experience with
digiKam. It’s always valuable to hear from users who have been part of the
community for so long.

To address your question: *the r/digikam subreddit is currently the most
active and visible platform for discussions, support, and idea exchange*.
Here’s why I personally recommend it:

   - *Visibility and Audience*: Reddit’s structure makes it easy for new
   users to discover digiKam and for questions to reach a wide audience. It’s
   also well-indexed by search engines, so solutions shared there often appear
   in chat boot responses.
   - *Practicality*: It supports screenshots, screencasts, history search,
   and formatted text, which are essential for troubleshooting or sharing
   workflows.
   - *Moderation*: The subreddit is moderated, which helps keep discussions
   focused and spam-free.
   - *Activity*: While the mailing list remains useful (and I still
   participate there), Reddit sees more frequent interactions and
   contributions from both users and developers.

I understand your hesitation about Reddit’s authority—it’s a valid concern.
However, the digiKam team and many experienced users (including myself)
actively engage there to ensure accurate information is shared. Of course,
for official announcements, the digikam.org website
<https://www.digikam.org> remains the primary source.

If you’re looking for a central hub, *r/digikam is the place to be*. That
said, I’d love to hear your perspective: what kind of platform or features
would make you feel more confident in engaging with the community?

Best regards,
Gilles Caulier

To add my voice (also a very long term user of Digikam) I **much**
prefer being able to ask and answer questions via mailing list or
Usenet.

There's a number of reasons:-
  1 - I don't have to 'go and find' the forum (or Reddit area, or
  whatever). **Everything** comes to me, is sorted by my mail system
  into separate areas, and I can answer at my leisure when I want.

  2 - Usenet in particular, but also my E-Mail program, provide proper
  threading of messages.

  3 - I can us the same editor **everywhere**, I don't have to learn a
  different set of commands etc. for each support area.

I do have a Reddit login but I only go there very rarely. In general
for Digikam support I come here as it's gatewayed by Gmane to Usenet
and thus I get all the (considerable) advantages that offers.

Hello,

Adding my way to learn and interact as per today:

First of all, reading the documentation available via website 
digiKam.org plus the digiKam recipes book.

For user interaction, both to learn from others and my own queries, I 
use this e-mail list. The e-mail list is very useful to me.

I follow digiKam at Mastodon and LinkedIn, that is primarily following 
the accounts as there is very limited interaction.

I have not (yet) been using Reddit at all, but it appears to be 
interesting to consider.

Regards
Henrik Hemrin

Hi,

There is no virtual album regrouping all new items imported recently in the
database. We have an entry in bugzilla about this topic :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392801

With the Import tool, you have an option to import all new items in a
dedicated album where you need to review items before to include them in
your workflow.

Best regards.

Message-ID: <060d1e79-5cc5-47fd-83c6-67bb8d66f4c4@free.fr>

Hi everyone,

That's my problem :
  I can't remove some Tags, when I do, they disappear for a few seconds 
(3 or 4) and then reappear.
This does not happen on all Tags, only on some.
I tried to delete them from the Tags Manager, or from the Tags view, 
even from the Filters view, but it's the same. I desperately cleaned the 
database but it didn't do anything.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem?

Thank you in advance for your help.


PS: I have the impression that it is since the update to the latest 
version, but I'm not sure (not at all....).

Hi,

In my workflow I use slideshow mode for rating, as I want/need to use 100 %
of the screen for the picture.
Hence I switch frequently between slideshow and ordinary view while
stepping through pictures.

For this to work, the slide show needs to start at the current picture, so
I can walk back and forth between the pictures in slideshow mode.

I just upgraded from 8.8 to 9.1 and cannot find the setting to start the
slideshow from the current picture any more. Where is it?

As a workaround, people suggest using the Preview mode combined with
Full-screen. However, that requires pressing two different shortcuts (Enter
+ Ctrl+Shift+F) every single time, which is completely unfeasible when
doing this multiple times per minute :(

Best Regards and thanks for the amazing software
Anders

Hi,

The settings are always here in the tool configuration dialog, as you can
see in the online documentation.

https://docs.digikam.org/en/slideshow_tools/slide_tool.html

You can open the dialog when the tool is running.

Best regards

Hi,

Ahh, there it is - thanks for the fast response! (I was looking for the
settings in the configuration dialog where it was before.)

Best Regards

Yes, it has migrated to the plugin as well to be auto-hosted by the tool.

Subject: Confusing export to local storage
Message-ID: <20260627210301.6e6802e8@hackbrett4>

in the image editor, we have to options for exporting: Control-Shift-E and
Control-Alt-Shift-L. I understand that the later has more options, but what
i find a bit confusing is that Control-Shift-E exports the current state of
the image, while Control-Alt-Shift-L exports the unchanged source image.
I think this is confusing, could you make this clearer or adopt the
behavior of Control-Alt-Shift-L to also export the current state?

For ex, if i open an image, change the size, then Control-Alt-Shift-L will
export the original image, while Control-Shift-E exports the smaller
version (as i would expect).

Or did i miss something?

The tag manager adds multiple tags if a tag name has a comma in it. I 
want to add tags which contain commas. How can I do that?

Same problem because tagging ice skaters I have to tag 2 people for 
pairs and I want add 1 tag with 2 names separated with a comma.

My workaround:

I create a tag with a single name: eg  CONTI Sara

then I modify tag adding second skater eg CONTI Sara, Macii Nicolò

Now you have a single tag with comma separation.

Hello all,

How about using a semi-colon (;) as the separator? Or an ampersand (&)?

Best wishes,

I try a different workaround. I create a tag with the comma then edit 
the tag with the first part before the tag and delete the other tags! 
Not very elegant to say the least! I even tried to escape the comma with 
a \. Doesn't work!

Another way I was thinking about is creating the tag from the folder 
name. My tags are the names of the folders. Is this possible?
