Symlink treatment

In order to contain my ~/ stuff volume I've 2 photos directories:

1) ~/photos  (the last photos with ~/ daily backup)
2) /home/stuff/photos  (photos with intermitent DVD and CD backup)

I see all directories with digiKam because one a symlink in ~/photos that 
points to /home/stuff/photos with the name «archived».

But  seems that tactic have some minor problems:

A) When I launch digiKam have 2 «archived» folder: One with the + symbol (that 
works fine) and one useless empty folder.

B) Some actions in digiKam create a new «archived» empty folder, i.e. tag 
image action.

When have a lot of «archived» empty folders I restart digiKam and 
dissapears --well always have a first «archived» empty folder explained in A

$ digikam --version
Qt: 3.3.6
KDE: 3.5.2
digiKam: 0.8.2-beta1

Thanks!

Regards,

No EXIF-Dater after auto rotation

In both the cases I use libexif12 Ver 0.6.13-4. libexif10 Ver 0.6.9-6 is also installed but seems not to be used

I Don't get any stating messages from both the versions.

When loading an image that has to be rotated the old version says:

digikam: Number of EXIF tags in IFD0 section:9
digikam: Wrote Image Orientation: 1
digikam: Wrote file '/media/Photos/2006-04 - Varchaa, Arun, Nina/.digikam-exifrotate-18429'.
digikam: WARNING: Trying to append a Metadata item for an unknown key (no ItemInfo): EXIF comment

The Exif-Data of thai picture ist there after rotation

When I process se same picture with the 8.1 Version it simply says:

digikam: No EXIF information found.

And the resulting picture is missing any Exif-Data.

Seems to work fairly well.  I'll see if I can do a comparison between 
the data it gets vs Dimage Master and Pixmantec's Rawshooter either this 
evening, or sometime this week.

Note that all Minolta marker notes :

http://www.dalibor.cz/minolta/index.htm
http://www.ozhiker.com/electronics/pjmt/jpeg_info/minolta_mn.html

... can be handle by the parser but cannot be displayed yet into digiKam 
interface duing a limitation in Exiv2. i'm currently working to a minolta 
makernote support in Exiv2 for that...

digikam fails to delete pictures from Canon PowerShot A85

I have noticed that most of the time when I try to delete all the pictures from
the Canon PowerShot A85 camera that a popup window with failed to delete picture
occurs. Is this a problem with digikam for this type of camera or are other 
people experiencing this problem with other cameras? I have to use the camera to
delete the pictures.

Don't know if it could help you :

I experienced such a problem with a broken CompactFlash card (in fact some 
kind of Microdrive made by Magicstore). The card was the problem, not the 
camera nor any card reader. 

Have you tried with another CF card ?

Do you have any CF reader you could use to test if the problem comes more from 
the card or from the camera ?

(Anyway, my point is that a (PCMIA or USB) card reader is definitively simpler 
and safer to use, and far more friendly for the camera batteries.)
