Re: Putting files (images in particular) in a 'custom' order

Chris G:
I seem to have this problem regularly but still haven't found a good solution.

I currently use Digikam but the problem applies equally to other
applications, I haven't found anything that does what I want.

I want to select pictures randomly from various places (i.e. from
various different Digikam albums) and place them in a new album in a
specific order which has nothing to do with their dates, alphanumeric
file name or anything of that sort (no pun intended!).

*Surely* people want to be able to do this.  Currently in my case it's
simply because I have taken two sets of photographs of the same trip,
one lot in one direction and the other lot in the opposite direction.
I want to collate a set of pictures of the trip in 'geographic' order
from the best images selected from the two albums.  I can't find any
way of doing this apart from laboriously renaming each image as I
select it and even then if I change my mind and want to add one in the middle
somewhere I've got a horrible re-ordering problem again.


You might have tried this already, but let me explain my approach with digiKam:

I store all images in albums named with year/week the pictures were taken. I label all the pictures with different types of data, one being the occation the image was taken at. I then choose to view the images by label instead of by album.

So, in your case, you could create a label for that trip, and a sublabel for 'preferred to view'. Then show the pictures having that label.
