Creating a virtual filing system with digiKam

Software digiKam

Hi,
I cannot find this information in the documentation, which focuses on albums that are identical to folders.

Is it possible to have albums based not on folders, but on metadata?
Alternatively, does digiKam allow me to create albums where I could store links to image files, which would remain organised in their respective chronological folders?

No.

The closest you can get is using keywords and stored searches.

Thanks, that’s what I thought, unfortunately. So I’ll have to keep creating new saved searches – and managing new, more appropriate tags.
