Summary|[Feature Request] Dynamic / |digikam export of symlinks
|Virtual Albums |but fails to identify as
| |virtual album for slideshow
Platform|Other |Microsoft Windows
--- Comment #14 from Ty Mayn <tyrus.m...@gmail.com> ---
This is comment 14 on an old thread that was asking for a tool to create
virtual albums for digikam slideshow.
The principle being to point slideshow to a playlist rather than copying files
into some new directory.
Maik pointed out that symlinks could be exported and used for the purpose.
However the symlink processing in Windows was reported as historically flawed.
Giles added that symlinks had been improved after Win10 build 14972.
However in build 19044 symlinks are still not recognized by digikam for
inclusion in any album for processing.
Comments on QT forum indicate that symlinks in Linux and 0s10 do work
propertly
It seems that the problem exists just for windows users and is ongoing.
It am not a developer programmer and would not know if it is fixable in Digikam
code or only in QT.
It seems that the fix has been waiting for either developer group since 2016
and ever since the claimed improvement
of build 14972 in win10
I believe the use of symlinks properly is could be a good tool for
harvesting chosen image files for inclusion in
a slideshow in digikam. Symlinks are a logical tool to create a file list and
persist that list in a directory , to use as
an input to slideshow.
But digikam does not recognize the symlinks created by its own export event.
The symlinks persist but arent useable by digikam
