Digikam Tutorial hard to find
Locked
 
|
A beautyull program but so hard to find info. In one place there is
outdated info, another place there is an empty Digikam.pdf, another place ther is a downloadable document promised and than it turns out you have to make a flickr account (why should I want to do that) another document I have to pay for but whats worse I need to buy an e-reader for it. This is really frustrating, even more so because I'm not so much online. I love Digikam so much that I still keep trying, but I really think most people turn eventualy there backs to Digikam because of this. Is ther anybody who can change this situation? Is there anybody out there anyway? _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

But.. Till now I got 7 messages from 'sleepless', from Friday and today. Friday, there was 1 with a question, which was incomprehensible (for me at least), the others are information only, so no answer required. Today you fired of 4 in less than 1h30, ending with a rant.... You might want to make sure your questions are clear and give people time to answer before complaining. In addition, your questions concern topics in Digikam 2.0.0.4, which is a _beta_ version. And beta versions are normally not ment for and not suited for production use, as there are likely to be bugs and documentation isn't necessarily available. In simple terms: use a beta at your own risk. As for the rant about open source in your latest post, how much did you pay for your copy of Digikam? The developers receive nothing for their work, and still manage to deliver a good product. Another option: work on what you want changed (preferably in collaboration with the developers...). Fyi: - the e-book you have to pay for isn't a manual for Digikam, but a collection of tips and tricks, which are in part available on the author's blog. - I don't know about console scripting in 2.0beta, but 1.9 has a batch queue manager that allows most of the common operations on a group of images, in a user defined order and with user-defined parameters.

Thanks a lot for investing so much time in me. I checked my send Items
but could not figure out to wich "incomprehensible question you reffered to". Your remarks on the beta version of Digikam makes perfectly sense to me, but I am not complaining (at least not in the sense of blaming anybody) I try to make a point not for me but for the project Digikam, I have one, don't I. I just hope someone picks it up. Just turning back to our lightrooms etc and not making clear where the problems are is not very helpfull. It's not clear to me what your remark on developers receiving nothing for there effort have to do with me. I already expressed my admiration and thankfullness for the people behind this project publicly and try to be as helpfull ass possible for others (succeeded in that one already) and to find some help for myself (not so succesfull till now) Kind regards Rinus Op 21-3-2011 12:41, Remco Viëtor schreef: > on Monday 21 March 2011, sleepless wrote: >> A beautyull program but so hard to find info.

I believe You should be more specific where is outdated information
and where is empty pdf file. As to note do digikam team, http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/digikam.pdf is indeed missing To rinus, it should same thing as in http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/index.html , just in pdf format.

Sound like script is broken. KDE system admin must contacted to solve this problem...

In reply to this post by Rinus
By another document,do you mean 'digiKamTricks.epub'? I have purchased that as 50% amount goes to digikam developers and all the future versions of it will be without additional cost. You need not purchase ebook reader to read it. "Calibre'' a cross platform free software is recommended to read it on PCs. Moreover ,as already mentioned; these are only 'tips & tricks'--especilly for those who don't want to go through complete help file which is much compressive compared to this ebook.

@sleepless
pl read as 'comprehensive' instead of 'compressive' in my post. You can read .epub files with 'okular'-the default document viewer of KDE 4.x,it will fetch only a few dependencies as already you have installed digikam in gnome. But 'calibre' has more to offer and is a very nice experience indeed! Regards. On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 4:24 PM, sleepless [via digiKam] <[hidden email]> wrote: Thank you!
