Any news about Digikam 2.0?
digiKam 2.0...
... look on Release Plan page...
Lucid
Can this be installed on Lucid yet, or am I still stuck with 1.2?
Build broken on mingw32 Win32
I get
Scanning dependencies of target digikam-svnversion
[ 0%] Generating digikam/svnversion.h
[ 0%] Built target digikam-svnversion

[ 0%] Building CXX object libs/imageproperties/markerclusterholderplugin/CMakeFiles/ExternalDraw.dir/ExternalDraw_automoc.obj
The input line is too long.
The generated command line is well over 8300 characters and the limit I think is about 8192.
it compile here with TDM-GCC...
Before to release 1.6.0, i checked compilation under Win7 using TDM-GCC. All work fine.
Where is defined this 8192 char. limit ?
digiKam
XP limit is 8191
The limit in XP is 8191 according to this MS article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473
wonderfull M$ world...
... and of course, there is no way to increase this limit in the system ???
To compare, Linux has a similar limitation somewhere ? This can be adjusted ?
digiKam
No increase possible on XP
No, there seems no way to increase it in XP.
The situation elsewhere is a bit more complicated.

I think that reducing the command line length would be good for compilation speed anyway.

Mac OS X Interface
...is, to be honest with you, just horrible. There are a lot of Mac users that will refuse to work with your application and even to consider using it if it doesn't have a shiny Apple standard interface. I promise to come and try fix that when (and if it's not fixed before =p) I have the time, well, in the next month probably. I have an absolutely legal and perfectly mine Mac Mini.
Qt4/KDE4 style.
This is relevant of Qt4 and KDE4 style, not digiKam...
digiKam
Mac OS X User Interface
Yes, I know, sure thing, I don't blame you personally for that. Qt & Oxygen KDE Style are the main responsible ones here. But have you considered using Cocoa for some parts of the user interface? Writing a (partly) native Mac OS X Cocoa application, as some projects do. If you have a correctly coded project, as they teach us at the university, separating the backend and the interface, then this might be not as hard as it seems (however I completely and absolutely realize that you personally may neither be interested nor have time to do this, then we'd need a volunteer for this task, if such a port was agreed upon, after all)
Re: Mac OS X User Interface
Just for the record: I'm using Digikam both on Linux and on Mac OS and I like the way it looks (in version 1.2) on either of them - no need to invest a lot of time in changing it, in my opinion.
OS X UI
Unfortunately true about Mac users. I, a Mac user, say: invest your energy on the guts, not the eye candy.
shortcut
I have to edit a huge amount of images in Gimp. A Gimp shortcut would be very useful or, better, the ability to customize shortcuts. Do you plan such possibility ? Otherwise, digikam is a tool that works very fine. Thanks a lot !
Unable to build
I don't understand how I could get libkdcraw.
I go to http://www.digikam.org/sharedlibs and can't find it
-- libkdcraw library found.................. NO

CMake Error at digikam/CMakeLists.txt:86 (MESSAGE):
digiKam needs libkdcraw. You need to install the libkdcraw (version >= 1.1.0) library development package.

I've done this: sudo apt-get build-dep kipi-plugins digikam

I tried to compile it:
"checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!"
OK, but all kde libraries are installed ......
