In terms of functions of &digikam; you can perform a lot of operations like copy, delete, move, rotate on the whole group by selecting only the reference icon provided the group is closed. The same way you can load the whole group into tools like Light Table or the Batch Queue Manager, even into the Image Editor where you can navigate through the group members with the page keys on your keyboard. You can assign tags and labels (see further below in this chapter) and also write descriptions (see <link linkend="using-sidebar-captions">Captions</link>). Give it a try! - </para> - - <para> - In terms of use cases you can for instance group videos together with the .jpg - images related to them which most cameras provide or RAW images with their JPG counterpart. This is made easy by <guilabel>Group Selected By Filename</guilabel>. In the screenshot above exposure bracketed images are being grouped. One could do the same for archiving purposes with images used for a panorama. If you have very specific requirements for documenting of editing steps the <link linkend="using-sidebar-versions">Versions</link> function of &digikam; cannot meet you may find a solution using grouping. I can think of more use cases for grouping but I don't want to overload this section of the handbook here. Maybe a last hint for your own ideas: grouping is not restricted to items out of the same album. The whole group (open or closed) will only be visible in the album of the reference item. The other members of the group will be visible in their own albums only if the group is open. Can be confusing, use with care! - </para> - - <note><para> - Everything described in this Grouping section has nothing to do with <guilabel>Group Images</guilabel> in the View menu.

But since the purpose of this handbook is not to open a competition in creating the most sophisticated queries I leave it to you to figure out how far you have to go or can go in this respect and rather finish this section with a few hints about the other buttons in the Advanced Search Tool. Beside the <guilabel>+ Add Search Group</guilabel> button you see <guilabel>Reset</guilabel>. This removes all additional Search Groups and clears all the fields in the remaining one. It's a good policy to use this button before starting to create a new search, in particular when you leave the Advanced Search Tool with the intention to use the Quick Search for your next query, because otherwise the search criteria remain active even if you don't see them and screw up your new search. <guilabel>Try</guilabel> carries out the search but leaves the Advanced Search Tool window open, <guilabel>OK</guilabel> does the same but closes the window. <quote>Remove Group</quote> in the header of the additional Search Groups doesn't need an explanation, I think. - </para> - - </sect3> - -</sect2> - -<!-- -Local Variables: -mode: sgml -sgml-omittag: nil -sgml-shorttag: t -End: ---> diff --git a/attic/digikam/using-mainwindow-tagsview.docbook b/attic/digikam/using-mainwindow-tagsview.docbook deleted file mode 100644 index 9a103bf..0000000 --- a/attic/digikam/using-mainwindow-tagsview.docbook +++ /dev/null @@ -1,151 +0,0 @@ -<sect2 id="using-mainwindow-tagsview"> - <title>Tags View</title> - - <para> - (Hierarchical) tagging provides a flexible and powerful way to organize and catalog your images.

This will not cause a problem within &digikam; but there are quite a few views where the user cannot know which of the three is applied to an image because he might not be able to see the whole hierarchy of the tag. A help could be to tag the image in a case like this also with the parent tag or even the whole hierarchy but it becomes quite unwieldy, ⪚ in the image icon if you have the tags displayed there. The second <quote>Cat</quote> can be avoided by calling it <quote>Wild Cat</quote> but calling the third one <quote>Zoo Cat</quote> is a bit out of the roof, I think.

Well, do I still have to explain that after all? O.k., I should mention that it, of course, only removes the selection, not your precious pics. Now let's have a look on the three buttons at the right end of the row right under the map. They control which images you see in the Image Area out of your defined region. Let's begin with the one at the very end of the row, the Select-images button. If you activate it, it will toggle the selection of a photograph (or a group of photographs if they are hidden behind each other) once you click on it on the map. This can be helpful to fine tune your selection before carrying out operations from the Right Sidebar or the menus.
