DigiKam wants to organize images into "albums." An album is a simple directory full of image files, though digiKam goes out of its way to hide that fact. Files can be "imported" into an album from anywhere; if the file comes from outside the album's directory, however, a copy will be made.

f-spot does not bother with albums, directories, or any such nonsense. Instead, it implements a single, time-sorted stream of images with the ability to sort on various types of metadata. Images must be imported into
![[f-spot]](/images/ns/grumpy/im/f-spot-sm.png)
f-spot before use -
f-spot handles image editing in an interesting way. The original image is never overwritten; instead, f-spot creates a new version (called "modified" by default). Different versions are selectable via a pulldown in the image information area. Since f-spot seems to assume you'll never do anything with the files directly, it feels free to give modified versions names like "dsc00450 (Modified (2)).jpg".
