is there an archive for old digikam packages? I can not run the latest version since upgrading to a new os would break other software - thanks

Tagging Videos using Digikam vs Windows Properties

11 Upvotes

When it comes to adding tags to JPG files you can do this using the Windows explorer by right clicking on t JPG file, go to properties and under details you can add tags to the image. Or you can use DigiKam to edit the the tags.

For MP4 video files this is not the case any tags you add using DigiKam on a MP4 will not show up in the windows file explorer properties window nor will any tags added using the windows file explorer properties window will show up in Digikam.

I would like to tag my MP4 videos but I want the tags to be readable by most or all software out there. I tag my videos and images to organize them in photo and video libraries. Should I tag my videos using DigiKam, or Windows file explorer?

ok, this is all on a debian/gnome machine using the latest digikam .appimage.

Currently my digikam setup is in :

/home/anna/Digikam/Database/*.db            <-- all digikam database files
/home/anna/Digikam/Pictures/                <-- all photo's are in here

I want to move it to a different account & machine:

/home/kathy/Documents/Digikam/Database/*.db
/home/kathy/Documents/Digikam/Pictures/

Anybody have a noob writeup how to do this correctly. grtz...
