I do use tagging in digikam but I don't see how it helps much in
getting what I want as described above.

Are you suggesting that I tag images with their date or what exactly?

For example if I want to see pictures/images for, say, October 1987
how would I tag them so that I see that in October 1987 I have images for:-

    The horses in the orchard
    Holiday in Venice
    Maxine for publicity

?
