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.

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.

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.
