[Bug 226023] New: Support additional file formats (pdf, svg ...)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226023

           Summary: Support additional file formats (pdf, svg ...)
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified

Digicam should support any file format.
In my case I want to manage my pdf and svg files with digicam (assign tags,
make comments and so on)

At the moment it is possible to add the extension to the supported files list
in digicam but it is not possible to open those files since digicam does not
start the right application (acrobat reader or inkscape). A preview is also not
available.

Sorry, made a mistake. It is not a bug, it is a feature request.

You can use nepomuk already to add metadata to your documents which is
integrated into dolphin.

PDF and SVG are not dedicated to store photo data. This is why there is no
default suppport in digiKam

Well, I also can use nepomuk to add metadata to my photos right?
There are already supported file formats which also have no support for photo
data
[quote]
*.ogg *.mp3 *.wma *.wav
*.mpeg *.mpg *.avi *.mov *.wmf *.asf
*.crw *.cr2 *.nef *.raf *.mrw *.orf *.pef *.x3f *.dcr *.kdc *.srf *.raw *.dng
[/quote]
Not all of them have photo data support right?

I draw many pictures / commercials and export them to pdf for printing and for
sending to customers. Now I wanted to manage everything in one app.

Files formats listed here can be generated by a camera, including sound, video,
and RAW files.

No camera generated PDF or SVG.

Most work to support additional file formats is already done!
I can tag this files add comments and so on.
All is needed is an additional line in the preferences dialog for "other file
formats" in which case digicam would just let the OS decide which application
has to be launched to open that file.

What about xfc (Gimp) I often do my work and save it to xfc since it is
lossless and saves even layer (and many more) information. These files would
defenetly belong into digicam (derived work)

Just noticed that there is already a similar request. But I think my request
would be the better way.

Hi,
I too would like to see extended file format support (specifically pdf) in
Digikam.

Rationale: I use digikam to keep track of scanned documents, which works fine
with my home scanner (.jpeg files).
The industrial grade batch scanner at work is convenient to use for larger
volumes of documents, but ot only produces pdf files...

Having support for pdf would enable me to keep all documents in the same
archive under digikam.

Thanks for a great product! Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Thomas

Although I understand your reasons for this wish, I must say I don't agree.
Keep in mind, that digikam is heavily focused on photo management (including
working with camera etc), but its purpose is not to organize your (other)
files. I'd strongly advise you to use Dolphin+Nepomuk for this. Supporting svg
would be probably very tricky and just useless (what would you do with it? You
couldn't apply any effects or edit it in anyway in digiKam. So just keep it
organized and open it with another app? You already have Dolphin for that...).
As for scanned docs - well pdf is the right format, but digiKam is just not the
right app (again, what would you do with it inside digiKam? Probably just open
it with Okular/Adobe Reader/Whatever. And again, for that you have Dolphin...)
