digiKam, auto creation of Albums--a more flexible filenaming scheme?

[NZJon]

Hi,

I'm just getting started with using digiKam, having convinced the missus that installing Kubuntu is a Better Thing than repairing/reinstalling Windows... yay!

Anyway, we keep our photos on disk, and up until now have been keeping them in folders in the following scheme:

.../Not On DVD
.../Not On DVD/2007
.../Not On DVD/2008
.../Not On DVD/2008/01
.../Not On DVD/2008/01/2008_01_26/{filename}
.../Not On DVD/2008/01/2008_01_27/{filename}
.../Not On DVD/2008/01/2008_01_28/{filename}
.../Not On DVD/2008/01/...
.../Not On DVD/2008/02

.../On DVD
.../On DVD/2006/...

The Canon software for Windows automatically put the photos in the correct correct .../Year/Month/Year_month_day/ folder based on the shooting data of the pictures.

I have found out that digiKam can auto-create Albums (aka. folders) based on the shooting date of the photos on my camera, but only seems to create folders in a much flatter structure, like this:

.../Not On DVD/2008_01_26/{filename}
.../Not On DVD/2008_01_31/{filename}
.../Not On DVD/2008_02_01/{filename}

While there is nothing wrong with this, it does mean that there would be a lot more folders at the top of the directory tree. My question is this:

-- is there any way to get digiKam to create "deeper" album/folder structures, or is there a cunning shell script that could be run to do this?

Many thanks for your help...

Jon
