Hello Tobias, I tried around a bit. Thank you very much for your hints. In principle the presets (Voreinstellung in german) do what I want. But are there meant to be used for such a case? What happens if I create 200 presets - one for each album I want to create? Therefore I'm asking: Is is meant to be used for such purposes. I would like to suggest to make the presets or something similar visible in the same combo box where I select filmroll or folder or ..

Re: [darktable-user] want to move from iPhoto to darktable Q2 and Q4
Hello Remco, thanks a lot for your answer: I understand that I can select a filmroll and make an AND-search on e.g. pictures with a yellow tag. But I do not see a way to store the this virtual filmroll so that it appears somewhere as further filmroll or so. I agree completely with the exporting, you're so right. I need to export anyhow Let me give you an example: I'm importing a new set of pictures, usually I'm taking three pictures of the same kind with different exposures, so I need to select the best of each kind and somehow cover the others, but I do not want to delete them. And of course I'm covering really bad ones too. So what can I do to hide the unused pics? On the other side I would like to put some pictures in a "virtual" folder (e.g. "best pictures of 2017"), so I can export them to my digital picture frame. I'm just afraid tagging good pictures in one color or so is ok, but I will forget to which virtual album they belong. Do you understand my concern?

All relevant data concerning each image are normally stored within the XMP files Darktable writes. That means that edits and geotagging will be recovered on the new import (see section 2.2.7 of the manual). ___ WRT one of your other questions about creating virtual albums: that is possible (see "Collect images", section 2.3.2), but those collections are /virtual/, i.e. have no existence outside the Darktable database.

As that directory tree and the images in it are outside Darktable's data, you can also reorganise them at a later date with no problems.

Thank you very much for your answer. I saw that feature to correct one folder in the docs, already. But I'm afraid to do this for 500 folders is a bit annoying :-) The geotag thing with the map is exactly what I was looking for - thanks Georg Am 11.04.2017 um 18:44 schrieb Bernhard: Dr. Georg Troska schrieb am 10.04.2017 um 22:38: 2.
