Nepomuk

First of all, congratulations for this very important release! it's nice to see that you have finally reached 1.0 status :)

One question: Is there any kind of Nepomuk support? Is it going to be support for it in the future?

Planed...

This week end, Marcel go to this coding sprint... to code a Nepomuk interface for digiKam...

Nepomuk interface for digiKam done...

Look this message from Marcel...

Congratulation

Congratulations for this release, I'm always very impressed when I read the tons of bugfixes !!

im using this version under

im using this version under kde4.3beta2 and take a lot of time to load the images from a album, and in the 0.10 version was really fast.

Gilles, this could be related

Gilles,

this could be related to the thumbsDB. I experience the same behavior, 1.0.0 is way slower then 0.10 as I mentioned before.

Andi

digiKam rocks !!!

that's an impressive list.... :)
Thanks a lot for your work for continuosly improving the software....

Congratulations and thank you

Problems compiling kipi-plugins-0.3.0 for digikam-1.0.0-beta1

I have a debian/lenny system with the KDE 4.1 libraries,
and have manually installed LibRaw-0.7.2 and exiv2-0.18.1 under /usr/local

running cmake . in the kipi-plugins-0.3.0 does not find these libraries (only the original lenny ones), however with
cmake -DKEXIV2_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/exiv2 -DKEXIV2_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/lib \
-DKDCRAW_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include -DKDCRAW_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/lib .

I still get the error

CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindKipi.cmake:85 (message):
Could NOT find libkipi header files
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:39 (FIND_PACKAGE)

What is strange is that cmake does not recognise that it is run from inside the kipi-plugins-0.3.0 directory and that there is a line
FIND_PACKAGE(Kipi REQUIRED)
in the kipi-plugins-0.3.0/CMakeLists.txt file; when I comment out this line and rerun with
cmake -DKIPI_FOUND=1 .
The generation of the build files completes.

However when I then run make, I get the error

.....

However the files rawdecodingsettings.h and kexiv2.h are nowhere to be found in LibRaw-0.7.2 and exiv2-0.18.1

At the moment I am lost as I am completely new to the cmake environment. Any ideas on how I should proceed?

Installed 1.0.0-beta1 from debian/unstable

After copying my root partition to another HD and - with fingers crossed - upgraded digicam from the debian/unstable repository together with a load of kde4 and other libraries.

Fortunately the upgrade went smoothly, and digikam 1.0.0-beta1 started without problems, sucessfully migrating my 0.9.x meta-tags to the version 4 database.

Now I can plug my album+database USB harddrive also into my Kubuntu laptop (currently still digikam 0.10.0) and process the fotos there.

Great Job!

can I have root album on

can I have root album on FTP??

dolphin say: the directory is not exist, or is nor readable, but directory exist and is rewritabe, readable :)

or please add "export to FTP"

or please add "export to FTP" to "export" - might be good

use the force luke

You can add a collection located on a network share : go to settings -> configure digikam. I think if you manage your ftp folder this way, it's much more flexible.

PPA for Kubuntu?

Is there a ppa for Kubuntu somewhere that I can add so I get this release?

Does it support marble 0.8svn

Does it support marble 0.8svn (from kde 4.3.0 beta2)? I'm asking because the only way i could run digikam 1.0.0 beta 1 is when i disable marble support in compiling (-DENABLE_MARBLEWIDGET=no -DWITH_MarbleWidget=no).

Impressive Progress

I upgraded to KDE 4 last month and was dismayed at the large number
of applications that have taken many steps backwards in the transition.
DigiKam is one of the few that I use regularly that has maintained all
of its functionality and added some nice new features. You deserve a
lot of praise for not following the crowd, rewriting everything from
scratch and leaving your users disappointed.

I look forward to the new releases and I'm sure that your approach of
improving things incrementally will continue to delight your growing
user base.

Many thanks

Thanks a lots for this comment. It's really digiKam team approach : no feature regressions...

I want to support to 100% to

I want to support to 100% to that comment. Digikam did the KDE4-port really well.

Congratz and Thanks

I am really impressed about the good progress this application has made.

It's not only the app. There is a good documentation (for installung/compiling too), a nice website and a transparent developing process.

It just feels...

Professional

and... I like that new Batch

and... I like that new Batch Queue Manager. Really good work.

Crashes on delete and move pictures

I installed 1.0.0-beta1 from debian/unstable (sidux) and encounter some crashes (not always) while deleting and moving an amount of mails (30 to 100) between my albums. After starting digikam again the delete/move proceeded sometimes half and sometimes to it end.

I install gdb and digikam-dbg now to create some backtrace. I'm using digikam since 0.9.x and 0.10.x.

Great work anyway.

added to bugs.kde.org

Here's my bug-report about this crash.

Good luck

manual sorting in icon view?

Hi, love your app!

However, one thing is missing in my point if view, an ability to do manual sorting. I need that feature to sort photos from multiple sources (different cameras), before renaming them and sending them to my website for online viewing.

This feature is missing from all linux photo-management apps, but present in similar windows apps such as ACDSee and FastStone Image Viewer

Does the new icon view make this easier to implement?
Thanks!

Sharpen tool

Hello,
I can't find "sharpen tool" :-(( it was in menu enhance but now is there "only" brightnes/... , hotpixels, in-paiting, lens, noise reduction, restoration. I have gentoo with kipi 0.4, Digikam from SVN (revision 990984) - but I can't find sharpen tool so in some older versions. Do you know where to look for a mistake, please? in compiling (useflags) or in other packages which provides this feature...or...? Thanks a lot!

BTW: Digikam is GREAT! :-)

broken packages.

Nothing have been removed. Sharpen tool is always at the same place.

thank for super-quick

thank for super-quick answer!
I understand that you can't know all packages from all the linux distributions - but please, try advise me, what packages (projects) may be it.

No idea...

Well, compile yourself digiKam (:=)))...

I have self-compiled digikam

I have self-compiled digikam - without problems and warnings. I have compiled Digikam under instruction in section "download" > svn (kde4)

start digiKam with a new user

create new account, and start digiKam. setup all properly, and look if Sharpen tool is there...

i have created new user named

i have created new user named "test", configured startup wizzard in Digikam, but with sharpen tool no changes - missing :-(

strange...

Sharpen tool come from with core editor image plugin. This one include Blur, Red Eyes, BCG, BW, HSL, Ratio crop, etc... Do you see these options in editor ?

I don't see it, where exactly

I don't see it, where exactly should be - in the menu?
color:curves adj.,levels adj.,channel mixer,color effects,white balance.
enhance: hot pixels, inpainting,lens,noise reduction,restoration.
transform: rotate L/R,Flip H/V,Crop,Liquid rescale,free rotation,perspective adj.,shear.
decorate: add border,insert text,templ.superimpose,apply texture
filters: blur effects, charcoal drawing,distortion effects,emboss,add film grain,IR film,Oil paint,raindrops

BTW: I have a friend with other distro (Arch linux) and he has the same problem

Core pluging is not installed...

It's clear : image editor core plugin is not complied and installed. I don't know why...

In fact code is there

When you compile digiKam, check if this dir is compiled.

OK, you have right :-)

OK, you have right :-) Tomorrow i check the compilation process, today I am tired... Thank you for your time VERY much!

Hi, i'm back :-) So i

Hi,
i'm back :-) So i recompiled digiKam - here is the log file. Coreplugins are compiled and installed, sharpen tool too :-(
