I see Dynamic/Virtual Album as a way of improving digikam use . Such a
virtual album should be able to be loaded into the MainView window where
thumbnails act as the symlinks for actions such as copy or hand off to modules
like Slideshow
The Dynamic album is a persistent collection that can be named and saved
without creating moving or duplicating files into any OS directory. If the
tagging engine is used to name and persist the collection , then the tagging
should be hidden from the standard TagManager and filter tools.
Dynamic album is disposable so that deletion does not delete the files that
the collection represents
NO file should have to be moved to a new folder on the OS in order to join a
collection
NO file should have to be duplicated/copy/pastes to be processed into some
location to join a persistent collection
Dynamic Album acts as in Input to load into any digikam module:
Slideshow,Presentation,Mass Tagging, or FilterActions
Dynamic Album acts as an Output so that it can be converted to a plain text
list of Path+Filename (obviously only useful on a workstation which has that
file/folder pattern)
Since each major OS has symlinks there should be a way to export Dynamic Album
to a collections of symlinks . Declare a buffer folder into which the Dynamic
album symlinks can be placed, once there then the user can move these symlinks,
in part or in whole, anywhere on the filesystem (without carrying the baggage
of the files)
Sorting: Dynamic albums should have a tool for arbitrary manual sorting of the
collection. The sort engine should be able to begin with a typical sort from
the OS (date etc) Wish that the manual sorting could be a visual drag/drop
among the thumbnails in the MainViewer
Look at the primitive way to sort files for slideshow by win10 explorer by
Prefix Renaming:

These thoughts are from a nonprogrammer user perspective , so thanks to
any programmer who arbitrates the needs and the places in code to be affected.
