![]() ![]() It also supports DNG format reading and writing. Digital Asset Management is the mainstay of digiKam.ĭigiKam relies on libraries such as exiv2, allowing it to edit XMP metadata embedded in images or separately as sidecar files. digiKam was the only free photo management application on Linux that could handle 16 bit/channel images, until RawTherapee version 4.0 was released in 2011, using a new 32 bits/channel engine for all internal image processing. In addition, digiKam offers image enhancement tools through its KIPI (KDE Image Plugins Interface) framework and its own plugins, like red-eye removal, color management, image filters, or special effects. Basic auto-transformations can also be deployed on the fly during picture downloading. Plug-ins are also available to enable burning photos to a CD and the creation of web galleries.ĭigiKam provides functions for organizing, previewing, downloading and/or deleting images from digital cameras. Using plug-ins, users can export albums to various online services including (among others) 23hq, Facebook, Flickr, Gallery2, Google Earth's KML files, Yandex.Fotki, MediaWiki, Rajce, SmugMug, Piwigo, Simpleviewer, Picasa Web Albums. Users can also add captions and ratings to their images, search through them and save searches for later use. It supports all major image file formats, such as JPEG and PNG as well as over 200 raw image formats and can organize collections of photographs in directory-based albums, or dynamic albums by date, timeline, or by tags. Probably simpler, you don't have to think a lot then.DigiKam is a free and open-source image organizer and tag editor written in C++ using the KDE Frameworks.ĭigiKam runs on most known desktop environments and window managers, as long as the required libraries are installed. ![]() Of course, as others have suggested, the simple way is just to shut down digiKam, move the files to a new location (including digiKam's databases and stuff), rename disks, start digikam again. So now I have a fast 1TB SSD for recent photos, and a couple of "slower" disks (they're fast enough for digiKam, no lag iussues) where I just archive everything I'm done with. ![]() I've just done something similar a month ago - I added new, bigger disks in my box. I mean, you can do a few steps differently, but that's roughly it. But if you're moving an entire disk, it's going to take a while anyway, so who cares, reddit away :) The disadvantage is that it could be a little slower then if you just copied files in your file explorer. you can create a new structure if you'd like, also everything stays in digiKam You could just pick all the albums and summarily move them over. ![]() Or "Copy to" instead of move, then you have two copies. > New Album", which you then put in this new lib. you select a few photos, or an album (with subalbums), then right-click and "Move to. Once you're there, you can perform normal album operations. Now instead of top-level Pictures collection, with your albums inside, you have Pictures and Pictures - big disk. Essentially, you tell digiKam, _"aside from scanning that disk, now also use _ this _disk for my images". ![]()
