1.9 or 2.0 compiled for Windows?
 
|
Giles, et. al., do I take it correctly that the Windows compilations
have taken a back seat to getting 2.0 out? I'm very, very grateful to have the 1.7 version but as you've noted (IIRC), it's pretty buggy. Still, I hold great hope for the future and I love so many things about it. I know NOTHING about programming and significantly less what KDE is about as some kind of a platform for digiKam. Yet, I keep reading of bugs, even in the LInux versions, that seem to be due to KDE. And all those kioslave.exe threads running when digiKam is in use really eats up my 3GB of RAM! My other favorite photo editing program is xnview. It runs on every OS in use today and is stable and not a memory hog. And, of course, no KDE. Thanks for listening. I"d be interested in your thoughts. Paul _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I did try digikam on windows and it was a disaster, because I was fallen
in love with digikam I have set up a dual boot system now and run dk 2.0.0.4 on ubuntu 10.10. If you say "I keep reading of bugs, even in the Linux versions" I might have contributed to that over the last few days. But actually I consider this version as pretty stable, I am doing heavy stuff with it and it does a great job, a crash sometimes but sofar never destructive, it seems that the data is well protected, after relaunch everyting is just as it was before the crash. I feel safe with it. Rinus " Op 25-3-2011 15:42, Paul Verizzo schreef: > Giles, et. al., do I take it correctly that the Windows compilations > have taken a back seat to getting 2.0 out?

In reply to this post by Paul Verizzo
I did try digikam on Windows too - with the same result. Disaster. (In version 1.7 it cannot move the photo into trash, wtf?). I'm running digikam now in virtualbox + ubuntu (running in 2GB memory space). Unfortunately, I'm using only the lighttable and managing features now as it looks like digikam can handle only english characters in metadata.

>Bug from KDELibs, not digiKam. In fact try to use trash from other KDE >applications (as dolphin): it doesn't work OK. But, what can I do with this on windows? Not much. >>I'm running digikam now in virtualbox + ubuntu (running in 2GB memory space). >>Unfortunately, I'm using only the lighttable and managing features now as it looks like digikam >>can handle only english characters in metadata. > no. XMP support UTF-8 (It's not the case of (IPTC) XMP is in UTF-8 (that's true), but there is no way now not to write IPTC in digikam - as digikam cannot handle national characters in IPTC. So, if I decide to use only XMP, digikam will write also broken IPTC into image. And if I view photo with different photo management programs, they mostly look first for IPTC and after for XMP. So - broken metadata are visible. Using digikam for entering national characetrs into metadata is usable only if you want to use just digikam for managing your photos. And even if I decide to, I will still sleeping wrong as I know, that those IPTC are broken and I need delete them manually in future by script or repair by copying values from XMP. > Gilles Caulier Martin > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "sleepless" <[hidden email]> > To: "digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source" <[hidden email]> > Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 4:04:51 PM GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna > Subject: [Digikam-users] Re: 1.9 or 2.0 compiled for Windows? > > I did try digikam on windows and it was a disaster, because I was fallen > in love with digikam I have set up a dual boot system now and run dk > 2.0.0.4 on ubuntu 10.10. > If you say "I keep reading of bugs, even in the Linux versions" I > might have contributed to that over the last few days.

Nothing has changed here. - as digikam cannot handle national characters in IPTC. So, if I decide to use only XMP, digikam will write also broken IPTC into image. And if I view photo with different photo management programs, they mostly look first for IPTC and after for XMP. So - broken metadata are visible. Using digikam for entering national characetrs into metadata is usable only if you want to use just digikam for managing your photos. And even if I decide to, I will still sleeping wrong as I know, that those IPTC are broken and I need delete them manually in future by script or repair by copying values from XMP. > The solution here is to have a setup in digiKam be able to disable IPTC writting, and only write XMP.
