Happy digiKam...

Just in the nick of time :)

Today I had a meeting with one of my customers and he asked if I could put a panorama view on his webpage, sure, took photos. And now you write this blog post :) You can’t believe how happy this makes me right now :)

Win32

hi
Is there a version for windows in the pipe ?

Where to download the package?

Is there a distribution which provides its package for a new versions of DigiKam?

Yep

Yes there is, its name is Gentoo. Or Funtoo or Sabayon.

Cannot open database

I upgraded from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 and now I get an error "Could not open database" (Message is in german, so I don't know the exact english text).

I had the same, and this

I had the same, and this solved it:

In digikam, go to Settings -> Configure digiKam -> Database -> OK

and it opens your database.

Hope this helps.

yes, that helped, thanks!

yes, that helped, thanks!

I have the same bug with db not found..

and additionally, when I click to skip it, digikam fails during starting on "Initializing Main View". I have Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE4.7 (as mentioned lower in the discussion, I do have both repo's "kubuntu-backports" and the "extra").

After years of using digiKam I must tell that, even it has some bugs time after time, this is the best photo library tool I have ever played with.

my bad,I did overlook that it is Philip's kubuntu-backports repo

so I just add ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports as everyone else with kubuntu and KDE 4.7 and it is running ok now.

Once again, I must congrats to digiKam developers for such a killer application!

Error after upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1

Dear Gilles

I love Digikam so much and use it very often. Such a great software!! Unfortunately after upgrading, I get

digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol: _ZN11KExiv2Iface14AltLangStrEdit15setLinesVisibleEj

and digikam 2.1 refuses to start! Any idea?

Cheers, Ruedi

If you are using KDE 4.7 with

If you are using KDE 4.7 with Ubuntu 11.04 and the packages from my PPA then you need both my "kubuntu-backports" and the "extra" PPA activated too which have Digikam built against KDE 4.7 instead if KDE 4.6 that comes with standard Ubuntu 11.04.

ppa added .. works now with kde4.7

Dear all

I had to add ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports to the repos. Do an update .. and it works. Thanks all for your help!
