Looking for some advice here. I have a large set of old slides
(transparencies) which I'm currently scanning for the family, but of
course many of them are out of order. Clearly they don't have EXIF
information (they were taken in the 70s and 80s). I'm looking for a
way
to order them *visually* after scanning, but the usual apps (Digikam,
Shotwell, Lightroom) don't seem to be able to do this. They only
understand machine-readable sorting, e.g. by the file mod date, size,
exposure data etc., none of which is useful in this case.
Any ideas?

I think the buzzword for searching for software is "gallery," and
most of them are web-based. I use pwigo (www.pwigo.orgorg ), which has a
manual sort option (though you have to dig in a little to find it).
It's actually piwigo, but thanks. I'll take a look.
But if you're not serving a web page somewhere, I don't know. There's
always the Wikipedia page to sort through, I guess, though I don't find
that useful as often as I hope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparis

I'm already using Google Photos, which I suppose counts as a gallery,
but it can get a bit slow when dealing with large batches so I
generally use it for sharing the final results. My idea was to find a
tool to process photos locally before uploading them. I'll check out
that Wikipedia page in any case.
I do most of my photo editing with Photoshop Elements/Organiser in
Windows, which potentially has the capability you are looking for
particularly via organiser, but I'm not sure of the graphic quality if
running it from a VM (when I tried in the past I wasn't able to get it
to install and work under wine). I haven't played around much with
similar photo editing tools under Linux, but I'm wondering if
'Rawtherapee' or 'DarkTable' have the functionality you are looking for?
If I remember correctly, both packages are in the Fedora repositories.

Steve
