Thx a lot again for your great work!

Hi, Anyone has tried this on HiDPI display on Linux. For example, if I have an image with 1000x1000 pixels, when I show it in digikam on a 4K display with scale factor set to 2, the image will display as 2000x2000 when I choose to zoom into 100%.

I don't think this is a right behavior comparing to the other tools on Mac or Windows. The UI elements like label, menu, toolbar should follow the scale factor, but the image display should ignore the scale factor settings.

Anyone can let me know what should I do to make digikam the perfect tool to support this.

best regards

Any word on when animated gifs will be supported? It's kind of weird for a photo manager released in 2016 doesn't support one of the most common image formats out there.

Thank you for another great release @Digikam Team. I'm sure this is going to be better than the 5.2.0 release. AppImage support is just awesome. This will allow many more users to try it out, and provide invaluable feedback.

Thanks a lot for a great new version of this awesome piece of software.

There are still missing some features about the built in Group functions of digikam for example deleting a group (all grouped images) and apply tags to all grouped images. Any ideas when this will be fixed? Nobody else but me using the grouping feature to group RAW and JPG files?

Thanks! Great to see this wonderful program updated again.

It seems that there's no option to open an image in an external program in the MS Widows version. This seems to have disappeared in version 5.0. Are there plans to add this back? Without it, the program doesn't fit into my workflow (probably a major difficulty for any workflow) and I'm using version 4.12. Version 4.12 is still a great program, so I'm not complaining. I would like to know whether there will be future versions that I can use or whether to stop looking.

Thanks for the software,

Ed W

How do I talk to the community or get support? I've tried the digikam mailing list. No one's responded from digikam users. There is a forum but it's barely ever used. How should I proceed?

You guys ever hope to switch something more modern and centralized. Lack of ease of communication with the community is a barrier to those that might want to use Digikam much less its development.

The download section just has repository, tar and git.

Where is the mentioned 32bit/64bit appimage version?

Hello,

I installed it via imageapp and the panorama funtion does not work, as many of the necessary parts are missing. Is there a way to install them one by one via "find" button? Or is this a fault of the imageApp?

Is it going to be in the repository?

Generally, I love the speed and many bugs are gone, I would love to stick to 5.3, but no panorama is a hard pill to swallow...

Hi,

great to have the option using an AppImage. Please can you give a hint about sharing the data. For the images I guess there is no problem but is it possible to share the database of the old distro digikam version and a newer beta release of digikam running as AppInfo?

Thanks, Reiner

Hello,

I bit the bitter pill and started using hugin as standalone as it is not working inside. But to do that with any kind of acceptable workflow, I need to be able to export selected images to a folder. This export option is not there.

Also it does not let use the export to dropbox (maybe the app is sandboxed?)

All in all, as much as I like the concept of appimage, is there a package for Debian/Ubuntu 16.10?

Is there any way to make custom buttons and add them to the bars?
For example to memorize a serie of filters, or tags, and filter the images rapidly by only pressing a button?
It would be very useful if you have some photos with a tag "family", or "private", and with a button hide all of this picture, when you have to show your collection to someone not in your family...
I know other people ask for something similar, I think this solution (custom buttons to apply prememorized filters) would be the easiest to implement.
Thanks for this wonderful piece of software!

Thanks for the Appimage, I am using it since the latest stable version of my distro currently doesn't ship new enough versions of KF5 and I would need to go to some effort (uninstall KDE4 or build a VM to compile on) to build updated versions. Although I am mostly happy with Digikam 4.12 provided by the distro, I needed 5.2 or newer for raw support for my new Canon 80D.

However, one of the problems with the appimage is that it is more difficult to make changes, such as a updating the canon dslr file from lensfun, which would normally be trivial.

Unfortunately, while Digikam supports the 80D's raw format, the lensfun database included doesn't (although it was added in the upstream source repo more than a month before the digikam 5.3 release). In future versions of the appimage, please ship the latest version of the lensfun database. Otherwise it's impossible to include the lens auto-correction in a batch job (which is what I did in 4.x to speed up basic common workflow).

(Even better would be to make it easy to get updated lens or body profiles for lensfun in the Digikam settings).

I ran into some other minor issues:
- I wasn't able to download photos from my camera using the appimage of 5.3, whereas 4.12 just works with no fiddling (auto-detects the camera connected by USB), so I currently download on 4.12 Possibly appimage-specific?
- Since my body isn't listed in the lensfun database, I notice that even if I select the body manually and there is an exact match for the lens (e.g. EF-S 17-85) I need to select the lens manually. I think this issue existed in older versions of digikam 4.x but was fixed (maybe in a bug I reported?).
- On 2 different machines the import of the digikam 4 db wasn't successful, it just got stuck and I had to kill the process and choose to not import the db on the next start. Please make sure that anything that can get stuck had a cancel button.

I think those were the only issues compared to 4.x.

Otherwise, 5.3 has been working really well for me, thanks for the efforts of all involved.

Is there any possibility of adding support for connecting to cameras with WiFi support over the network (e.g. 80D, I think 750D/760D and even 1300D now have WiFi)?

Thanks for all the hard work in developing digikam. I use it all the time with my real estate photos for work.

Hey, I'm new here. I've got a question: Currently I've installed digKam 5.1.0 on windows 10 (64-bit) but now I like to do an update on version 5.3.0. Is there any way to save my configuration? Thank you so much!
