Great work! Latest build on KDE4 doesn't crash on me any more upon startup. And it's beautiful! And functional! Excellent, excellent job! So pretty.

After my last comment, on the other post, I want to thank you for bringing us back diversity with a picture not from windows.

so, thank you

Curse you, slow, outdated repositories! Curse my lack of compiling skills!

May {$DIETY} grant my wish that one day we shall see DigiKam included in project Neon.

*sigh*

Great work Giles. It sounds amazing, and as I'm sure you can guess by now we're eagerly awaiting getting our hands on this delicious sounding new DigiKam.

PS It took 5 attempts to get this message through your CAPTCHA...

The current development looks nice and stable, beta6 comes around quite good. Sadly my isp screwed up big time so at home I am left without internet for at least until mid january :( I will still try to update my patch but it will take some time.
So I beg one of the devs to have a look at the bug and squash it, I suppose it won't take more than a few lines changed.

ps The captcha is extremely hard to read lately, sometimes I can only guess.

I've been almost two weeks surfing on the web but I can't solve an annoying problem with qt/kdelibs.

Let's explain:
- I have a KXmlGuiWindow, but I do not want to use xml config file for his management,
- the window already has a layout, so I can't use another one, or if I try I got some new errors,
- I need to place a QTreeWidget in the center of the window, without using KDockWidget because it feels ugly (if I could have a KDockWidget without the top bar it could be perfect)
- I need to place a terminal (made using kparts) rather than the QTreeWidget, when some event happens
- I need to place other widgets rather than the QTreeWidget and the terminal, when some other event happens...

But:
- Using setCentralWidget() I can put my QTreeWidget into the window but if I try to hide OR delete it before inserting the terminal widget, my app crashes

I've been trying with a new object which inherits from QWidget, placing a QLayout into it and trying to set there my objects.
But:
- I need to delete any widget from the layout, before inserting another one
- On qt4.4.3 there is no such method like the old removeAllItems() (qt4.2)
- If I try to delete any item from the layout, with either removeItem()/removeWidget(), the widget will be deleted but my window will remain dirty

For example, if I delete the terminal and then I set the QTreeWidget, the terminal object won't exist no more, but the terminal will remain on the window! And under the terminal I'll have the QTreeWidget.

I hope anybody could help me, I'm going crazy. Thanks.

Great work!
However I have one question regarding RAW batch conversion. I don't know maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I use batch conversion, resulting JPEG from Raws with portrait orientation are not rotated correctly. Does batch conversion respect this kind of information from EXIF?

Can anyone tell me what happened to all the batch editing tools, e.g. batch resize? They do not show up anymore even though kipi-plugins is installed. All I'm seeing is DNG converter and one other tool I can't remember right now.
