Since the release of digiKam 0.9.3, I have been working hard on a new major feature for digiKam 0.9.4: a Time-Line tool designed to perform complex date-based searches across your entire image collection.
Initial Approach and Evolution
My first approach was to integrate the Time-Line tool within the calendar view. However, this approach proved to be limited and unsuitable, as the calendar view is not inherently a search view. To address this, I created a new left sidebar tab called “Timeline”.
