Any hope for a windows installer

Submitted by Daniel (not verified) on Tue, 2011-10-04 09:32.

Thank you very much for the new release !!!

Is there any hope to have a windows-installer as well. The application is the best I've seen to manage fotos and I'm not a linux user.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

I use both Windows and Linux... Starting to prefer the linux but still need to have the windows systems around. Would be nice to have familar programs between the two.

Roadmap

Submitted by Alex (not verified) on Tue, 2011-10-04 12:26.

Thanks a lot for the new version! Digikam is such a great piece of software.

I've just seen the roadmap is out of date. Do you have any new features planned, or is it just a new bugfix release each month? Which is still great.

New interface

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 2011-10-04 21:36.

Hi,
thanks you for your hard work: I think Digikam is one of the best photo management software for Linux.

I'd like to know if a revamped interface is on the to-do list.

Thanks

export to wikimedia

Submitted by Marie (not verified) on Wed, 2011-10-05 16:39.

Hello,

I installed 2.1 a while ago and was looking for the commons.wikimedia export tool but could not find it. Is it implemented in the 2.2 version?

regards, Marie

There is a problem with this tool

Submitted by digiKam on Wed, 2011-10-05 20:58.

This tool is disabled. There is a uncomplete implementation with wikimedia API. 90% is implemented. Still 10% left. Look details here :

Does not run on OpenSuse 11.4 - undefined symbol

Submitted by Corvus (not verified) on Wed, 2011-10-05 19:21.

Hi All,

I've just upgraded to DK2.2 and now it doesn't start, need you expert help.

First of all - the upgrade:
- Opensuse 11.4 64bit
- Upgraded from DG 2.1.0
- Upgraded to DK 2.2 from Backports of latest application releases to stable openSUSE releases (openSUSE_11.4). http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/UpdatedApps/openSUSE_11.4/

The Error:

after running exif from konsole I get

"QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol: _ZN11KExiv2Iface14AltLangStrEdit15setLinesVisibleEj"

and DK just won't start

I've read that people on Kubuntu had this issue with DK 2.1 release so I've checked and I have libkexiv2-10 version 4.7.1-2.3 and libkexiv2-9 version 4.6.0-6.11.1 installed.

Any ideas how to fix it?

I have the exact same issue

Submitted by Haegar (not verified) on Sun, 2011-10-09 15:20.

I have the exact same issue an I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Digikam releases. I remember at least 4(!) updates of Dikikam where it just didn't start anymore without any meaningful message.
Renaming of the database- and config-files can't always be the right solution...

»

this is a UPSTREAM problem.

Submitted by digiKam on Sun, 2011-10-09 15:32.

libkexiv2 shared library installed on your system is not updated with digiKam. Typically, your digiKam have been compiled with a libkexiv2 more recent, and this lib have not been updated on your system. It's a broken resolved dependecy from your distro. Contact your linux distro team to solve the problem...

Support MS Windows

Submitted by Wim (not verified) on Wed, 2011-10-12 08:04.

Dear people,

I? a enthousiast user of Digikam on Linux, Ubuntu 11.04. Version 2.2 runs flawlessy here. But I would recommend further development of a windows port of Digikam, multiplying users of the program and attracking more developers and donators. Whoever does the job: KDE for windows or The Digikam team or a yet unknown party, it's equal to me. I've got version 2.0RC running reasonable on an XP Pro-machine.

Do NOT bother for a windows version!

Submitted by ex windows lover (not verified) on Wed, 2011-10-12 08:32.

Please do NOT bother for a windows version!
Linux is the perfect desktop environment anyway and I can not conceive digikam in the closed restricted space of windows.
An OS with only a virtual desktop!
Personally I discovered the world of Linux because of digikam and I am glad I did!

Keep up the awesome work!

Submitted by Martin (not verified) on Mon, 2011-10-17 13:02.

1. Not all people have the option to run Linux as their main OS. And a dual boot system just for DigiKam is a little oversized.

2. Luck at the posts above yours. Getting newer program versions in Linux is a real pain. A newbie like me is completely lost.

Will DigiKAM for Win support AVCHD metadata in sidecars?

Submitted by polarbeer (not verified) on Wed, 2011-10-19 21:52.

Hi,

I hope this version of DigiKAM will run stable on Windows.

Can any kind person with enough expertise in these things tell, if DigiKAM will support writing metadata also for AVCHD videos (*.mts, *.m2ts) in xmp sidecar files? If I remember right metadata can be attached to RAW image formats in sidecars by DigiKAM. But can this xmp-sidecar -functionality be applied also for all other file types people are using - for example mts and mp3 files?

(I hope also that DigiKam can display thumbnails for mts files in Win 7, because Windows Explorer can do that.)

All this would make DigiKam a real digital asset manager - not only photo manager - for win.
