Looks like KPhotoAlbum implements a lot of the stuff I've wanted in a photo manager, with database support in progress.

So, I've been using KPhotoAlbum (ver 2.2) for about a month now. Overall I really like it, although to be honest this is my first photo management application (I just used folders before), so I don't have anything to compare it to. I do have a couple of minor complaints (or just one, depending on how you look at it) that have recently surfaced, however:

• There doesn't appear to be any support for multiple albums. Yes, I could work around this with judicious use of tags, but
• Only one directory tree can be loaded at a time. Ideally, I'd like to have two directories of images: One on the local machine for private pics, and one on a more public server (accessed through an NFS share) with its own image browsing interface. I can kind of do this now, using the -c parameter to specify the image directory tree to load, but I can't manage all the images from both locations without restarting the application.

I don't mind using tags to denote multiple albums, but the feature I'd really like is the ability to tag multiple images as instances of the same overall picture. This'd be especially handy for tracking what's published out to web servers, or backed up onto other machines, etcetera.
