Yes, of course. In hindsight, I should have realized they do. I used 
digikam for a while but then decided to put all my photos on a networked 
drive so that everyone in the family can view them from any computer.

Now since digikam does use a database for images, have you tried KDE's 
mailing list (or digikam's) to see if the developers can shed some more 
light on the features you want? Perhaps there is a way (KDE is quite 
detailed, IMO) to do what you want.
