-.SH NAME
-digitaglinktree \- Export tag structure of photos in digikam to the filesystem.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B digitaglinktree
-.B -r\fI rootdir\fR
-
-.B -l\fI taglinkdir\fR
-|
-.B -A\fI archivedir\fR
-
-.B -d\fI database\fR

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B "digitaglinktree "
-will create a linktree for all photos in a digikam database that have tags set
-on them. Tags (like eg. "family", "events", ...) are used in digikam to create
-virtual folders containing images that all have one or more tags assigned.
-Please note: Photos that have no tags at all assigned are silently ignored by
-this script. The program will not modify or even touch your original photos
-managed by digikam.
-
-
-The script can be used in two ways: If you call it using
-Option -l \fItaglinkdir\fR the script will create the user specified
-directory \fItaglinkdir\fR and inside this directory it will create sub
-directories for digikam tags set on the photos. Inside these subdirectories it
-will finally place symbolic or hard links (see -H) to photos having the tags
-in question. As a result you will see the tags of your photos as folders and in
-these folders you will find links to your original photos.
-
-
-In this way you can access the collection of all images that share a certain tag
-by changing directory to the folder with the tags name created by this script.
-This allows you e.g. to run JAlbum a photo album software that needs to find the
-pictures to be put into a web album in the filesystem because JAlbum cannot
-access digikams virtual folders directly.
-
-
-The second way of calling this script is the so called archive-mode by setting
-option -A \fIarchiveDir\fR.
-
-Archive mode is thought for people who want to archive tagged photos
-independently of digikams root directories and the photos therein. This way you
-can put your photos and their tag structure in eg. a tar archive and send it to
-a friend, who can look at the photos via their tag structure. In this mode the
-script creates the directory given as parameter to -A and in this directory two
-more subdirectories. One named Photos and a second named Tags. The Photos
-directory contains hard links to your original photos, and the Tags directory
-contains a subdirectory for each Tag used by any of your photos. Inside this
-subdirectory there are links (either symbolic or hard links) to the files in the
-Photos directory. This way the archive directory needs nearly no additional
-space on your harddisk and you have an archive that allows you or a friend to
-easily look at the photos tag structure.
-
-Another benefit from using this script is that you have kind of a backup of your
-tag settings for all of your photos. The backup is simply the directory
-structure containing links to the original images that wear the tags.
-This could become important if
-for whatever reason the digikam.db file gets corrupted or even lost.

-.PP
-.SH "COMMAND\-LINE OPTIONS"
-.TP
-\fB \-r \fIrootdir\fR
-\fIrootdir\fR denotes the digikam base directory containing all your photos.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-l\fI taglinkdir\fR
-Parameter \fI taglinkdir\fR denotes a directory in which the tag structure of
-all your photos stored in
-rootdir will be exported to by creating subdirectories for each tag and placing
-symbolic links in these subdirectories that point to the original photo wearing
-the tags. If calling the script with option -l\fI taglinkDir\fR you also have
-to specify options -r \fIrootdir\fR as well as -d \fIdatabase\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-A \fIarchivedirectory\fR
-\fIarchivedirectory\fR denotes a directory into which the script will export the photos and their tag
-structure. -A has to be used together with option -r \fIrootdir\fR as well as
--d\fI database\fR else the script will terminate. Inside the archive directory
-the script will create a Photos and a Tags directory. It will put hard links in
-the Photos directory that point to your original photos. By using hard links
-you are independent of changes in your digikam root directory but on the other
-hand you are limited to one filesystem. So the directory given by
--r \fIrootdir\fR and the directory specified for -A \fIarchivedir\fR have to be one
-the same filesystem. The Tags subdirectory will contain links to the files in
-the Photos directory. This way you have one archive directory that is completely
-self contained. You can tar it, send it to a friend or just put it somewhere
-for archivel or backup purposes. Usually only those photos will be archived that
-have a digikam tag set on them. By using option -C however you can perform a
-complete archive. See -C for more infos.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-d \fIdatabase\fR
-\fIdatabase\fR is the complete path including the filename to digikams photo database which
-usually can be found in digikams root directory. The files name is usually
-digikam.db .
-
-.TP
-\fB \-C\fR
-When the script is called with option -A \fIarchivedir\fR only those photos
-will be archived (by placing links) in the Photos subdirectory of
-\fIarchivedir\fR that have at least one digikam tag set. By setting option -C all
-photos will be archived to \fIarchivedir\fR no matter if they have a tag set
-or not. Note: This only changes the contents of the Photos subdirectory not of
-the Tags subdirectory in the \fIarchivedir\fR directory.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-a \fR
-By default the script will try to create relative symbolic links from the
-directory \fItaglinkdir\fR set by option -l to the photo files under
-\fIrootdir\fR given by option -r. Using this option will result in absolute symbolic
-links beeing created instead of relative ones.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-H \fR
-By default the script will create soft (symbolic) links from the Tag-Tree to the
-photos. By setting option -H the script will use hard links instead. Please note
-that hard links can only be created inside one filesystem. So your photos and the Tag tree
-have to be one the same filesystem. If not you will see a warning about this problem and the script
-will not run.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-f \fR
-In digikam photos can have hierachical tags (tags that have subtags). In this case
-digitaglinktree would by default add a directory for the tag and a subdirectory for
-each of the subtags of this tag. By setting \fB \-f \fR a subtag is treated like a
-regular tag just as its parent tag so digitaglinktree will create all subdirectories
-for tags and subtags at the same level independent of the tag - subtag hierarchy.
-
-.TP
-\fB \-v \fR
-Prints the scripts version number and exits.
-
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-
-The script has to know which version of database is beeing used by digikam.
-The script needs this information to find the correct sqlite binary to
-start queries to the database.
-.sp
-You have to configure the script by setting the path to the sqlite binary that
-is used by the script to query the digikam database digikam.db. Since older
-digikam version use sqlite in version 2, but later digikam 0.80 versions
-needs sqlite version 3 you have to take care to install the correct version of
-sqlite for the installed digikam version and to set the path to the correct
-sqlite executable in the scripts head:
-.sp
-Choose
-
-$SQLITE="/usr/bin/sqlite3";
-
-for digikam version 0.8x and 0.9x and
-
-$SQLITE="/usr/bin/sqlite";
-
-for digikam version 0.7x.
-
-.SH EXAMPLE
-
-A call to digitaglinktree is shown below:
-
-digiTagLinktree -r /home/user/photos -l /home/user/photos/tags \
- -d /home/user/photos/digikam.db
-
-In this example digikams photo root denoted by -r is /home/user/photos where all of the photos
-can be found that are managed by digikam. The option -l /home/user/photos/tags
-tells the script that all the subdirectories and symbolic links will be placed in
-the directory /home/user/photos/tags. Because the link directory is
-below digikams root directory in this example, you will see a new album in digikam
-after running the script that contains the exported tag structure with all the photos inside.
-Since only links are used here this tag structure does hardly need any additional space on your
-harddisk.
