tip ART Session from digiKam search results

how to (in linux mint tested):

  1. Show digiKAM search results in “Table” format
  2. copy search results all rows in column “Path” (no need for other columns)
  3. paste to a text file younameit.ars (ART Session file)
    4 remove the first characters “file://” from each row (search & replace)
    5 save the file

the .ars file looks like this “/path/filename” per row:
"
/media/raimo/Elements SE/2022/2022_07_16/20220716-Kasavuori Lilli Juuli Laila Iiris-10.arw
/media/raimo/Elements SE/2022/2022_07_16/20220716-Kasavuori Lilli Juuli Laila Iiris-11.arw
/media/raimo/Elements SE/2022/2022_07_16/20220716-Kasavuori Lilli Juuli Laila Iiris-12.arw
/media/raimo/Elements SE/2022/2022_07_16/20220716-Kasavuori Lilli Juuli Laila Iiris-13.arw
/media/raimo/Elements SE/2022/2022_07_16/20220716-Kasavuori Lilli Juuli Laila Iiris-14.arw
"

Now ART can open the text file as a Session. “Load session from a file”-button

Thank you for your useful information.

I would like to add some notices for Windows users.

  1. Use LF as control code of carriage return instead of CR + LF which is default of Windows.

  2. Replace “/” with “\” .

  3. No need to remove ”file:////”.
