When you say 'assign', you mean in your mind, right?

I don't quite follow what you are saying... particularly 'one click at a
time'..

I assume 'the way' is use tags in kimdaba, then run your perl script to
convert the tags to the appropriate keywords/persons?

Sure...  The Wiki would be a good place for a brief description/link
(http://wiki.kdenews.org/tiki-index.php?page=KimDaBa). Have you tried the
Image::Kimdaba module? I'm assuming your script is a simpler one-purpose deal?

I hadn't gotten there yet, but have you tried the Export function? It looks
like it can do hard-links, which would seem to be good for export/sharing.
