“Well, this is not for Digikam alone.

“You should con­sider this as a guideline on how you can
organ­ize your digital pho­tos in Linux (and the other one
as well 😉 ) I am far from say­ing that this is the only way to
do it, but I can assure you that it works and has proven to be
efficient.

“Some people copy their files from the cam­era or the chip
to a folder on the hard­drive — and that’s it. Some even
don’t bother to work on cop­ies of their ori­ginal
pho­tos and alter the ori­gin­als dir­ectly. To do
that you must be either very good — or very stu­pid,
because every mis­take is fatal. And if you don’t apply
non-destructive pro­ced­ures there is no way back.
Never.”
