About digiKam
digiKam helps manage a growing collection of photographs across folders and albums. Tags, ratings, metadata tools, and search provide several ways to find an image later.
Editing and batch operations sit alongside the library, making it useful for maintaining an archive as well as preparing photographs for export.
