[Bug 186205] New: can't open photo in the external application from Digikam

[Jacek Poplawski-2]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186205

           Summary: can't open photo in the external application from
                    Digikam
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           0.9.5beta3-1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

There is one thing which stops me from using Digikam.

I work on RAW files and I use ufraw for processing raws and Gimp for further
editing. I am aware of fact that there is RAW editor in the Digikam, but I want
to use ufraw.

However, I have one big problem. I tried many many times but I can't find any
way to open photo from Digikam in the external application. I can only do it
manually, by looking on filename in Digikam and using my file manager to open
this file in ufraw or rawstudio or rawtherapee, etc.

I don't undertand this limitation. I tried to look into file type settings in
KDE, but for some reason Digikam don't use it when working with RAW files (.orf
in my case). It allows me to open file only in the showphoto application.

Please allow me to use Digikam for organizing my photos and other applications
for editing, please show me the way to call any application from Digikam, or
please fix this if this is a bug.

You can assign a program to a filetype, so that it will be listed in the
services (open with) menu.

Just click on a file in dolphin or konqueror and choose "Properties".
In the following popup dialog, choose the little screwdriver symbol and assign
your application to the RAW format.

It should be visible in digikam now. For me it works fine, I just assigned
blender to open jpgs (which doesn't make sense) and now I have blender in the
digiKam menu as well.

I already read somewhere about this method, but it doesn't work. I have GIMP
and ufraw in file type, but digikam allows me only to use showFoto.

Can anyone from devteam look at this bug? I can send you orf files if you don't
have them (everything works correctly with jpegs, problem is only with orfs).

Well I'm from the dev team and as I said before, I can't confirm this.
But sure you can sent my such a file...

ufraw and digikam

One question: You use KDE4, but digiKam 0.9.5, right?
Why don't you try digiKam 0.10, which is the new version for KDE4?
digiKam 0.9.x is for KDE3 and I don't have it installed anymore to test your
image with.
Also I guess digiKam 0.9.x is not capable of detecting services from KDE4.
So if you set ufraw in dolphin or konqueror to open .orf files, digiKam 0.9.x
will not recognize it.
digiKam 0.10 however, will, see the screenshot.
If you really want to use 0.9.x in KDE4, try running konqueror for KDE3 and set
the file type in there.

I use version from Arch Linux, but I can try 0.10, that makes sense. Thanks.

I will try to install digiKam 0.9.x again right now and test it, although I'm
pretty sure that the above comment must be true in your case.

Well Archlinux has kdemod / kdemod-legacy repos. Try to install at least
kdemod-legacy/kdebase (maybe it is called differently) and you should have
konqueror installed. Then try to set the correct filetype in there.
Konqueror for KDE3 should be /opt/kde/bin/konqueror then.

There are some packages in AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=digikam&do_Search=Go

Or you can compile from the tarballs or trunk and install it manually.

Ok :-)
Make sure to grab the kipi-plugins as well then (if you use them).
And please tell us if everything is fine with 0.10, so we can close this
report.

BTW: Archlinux rocks :-)

One little note (yes I'm very verbose today :-)) :

I guess we will release digiKam 0.10 this weekend (Gilles?), so Archlinux
should have it in their repos quite soon.

I already asked tpowa (package maintainer) about update. But I have no problems
with using AUR or writing PKGBUILDs myself.

I am doing lots of photos lately and I really need good software for managing
them so I hope Digikam will work for me soon.
