Congrats! Smugmug?

Congratulations! Has the SmugMug kipi-plugin been updated also? Their relaunch broke kipi's upload feature (bug 323118) and http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=236580

Thanks!

Just one question: When is

Just one question: When is this coming to Debian repos? We're still stuck with 3.1 ;(

Thanks for the great work though!

Packages of Digikam is up to

Packages of Digikam is up to the maintainers for each distribution to make. Talk the Debian maintainers of Digikam at Debian for updates to latest upstream release. It's not something the Digikam team do...

It would appear not. SmugMug

When?

How and when can I upgrade my digikam in Kubuntu 13.04? I rely on digikam daily:) Hey also I have question, on the "Lens Auto-Correction" How can I have complete freedom to choose different cameras and lens? Say I use an Oly E-PL1 camera body but a Nikor 70-300mm Lens, currently I can't pick and choose that, I can only pick a certian lens listed under a certain camera. Lets open that up so everyone can pick each field sepratly. Just a thought. Also, I'd love to see something to cut down on film grain, you have an awesome noise filter but what about film grain removal?

The Kubuntu team package and

The Kubuntu team package and maintain, among other things, Digikam updates between (K)Ubuntu releases at their Launchpad PPA. Right now they have Digikam 3.3 for (K)Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 but I bet they will very soon have Digikam 3.4 too. I used to make packages for (K)Ubuntu on my personal PPA but as long as the Kubuntu team do it I see no use that I also do the same packages...

You fund their PPA at with Digikam:

Philip, I miss your packages on kubuntu raring 32bits... kUbuntu team seems to compile digikam without openmp support, so digikam from kubuntu team is very slow (at least on my 32 bits version)

You might consider switching to Fedora they are really fast with digicam updates; 3.3 was available within the week of the announcement on digikam.org.
And it runs smooth with KDE (i'm not sure but 32bit should be no problem).

Always keep in mind that(k)ubuntu is a commercial product (their shop for example; they cripple the distro so you pay for functions you get for free elsewhere; not really cool)

just a thought though, you probably not change distro because some freak made a remark. but if you have a little hd-space (10 gig is enough for trying) you might have a look.

have fun

WTF?

Which orifice are you pulling this from? They now offer commercial support but, the community support is still there. The man pages are still there. The online documentation is still there. The IRC channel is still there. KDE help center is still there.

Please point to this "crippling" so that I too can become enraged. I have not seen nor heard of any such thing.

Please, enlighten me. Until then you are just "some freak" who "made a remark".

Though I will give you credit on telling the person to multi-boot and see for him/her self.

"the community support is

"the community support is still there" => Ubuntu packages come from Debian...
