Daminion 0.9.8 – minor update now available to download.
We’ve received many requests from our users to incorporate file/folder management into Daminion. So now, with the new version of the program, you can:
– Move (Drag) files to a folder
 – Add sub-folders
 – Rename folders
With the 0.9.8 version of Daminion you can also update (re-link) a folder’s location. For example, if you move a folder to any location outside Daminion, it’s now possible to update the folder’s location in Daminion without re-importing the whole folder. To do this, simply right click on a folder in the Tags tree and select the “Re-link folder…” option.
