What happens, if I move a photo to another album?

Although I agree that every version of a photo has to be accessible to other 
applications, i.e. not just the differences saved to svn or similar, I would 
like to point out that the basic backup would double the amount of data need 
for the photos. Laptop users might not be able to just put in a second 
harddrive.

Since digikam cannot handle several directories, those users would have to put 
all their photos on a separate USB-drive which leaves them with no pictures 
on the laptop.

From that perspective I think that digikam has to be able to manage the 
collection of photos as amarok does with music, i.e. have several dirs they 
can be stored in. If that was the case the backup-folder could be held 
seperate, if needed, e.g. on a USB-drive. That way the laptop user can have 
old pictures as well as backups on the USB-drive but still have the more 
recent photos on the laptop itself.
