    As someone who needs a photo viewer that has some basic editing tools, is digiKam a good tool? I’ve tried it in the past to mixed results… The UI and UX leaves a lot to be desired, but I do like the fact that it has local face recognition and other interesting features.

    Any suggestions for how this could be a part of my use-case?

      Yes, it’s one of the main use cases.

      “You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly.”
