[Digikam-devel] GPS/gpssync

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi,

to start with, the new gpssync is brilliant!!!

On my machine there seem to be, however, some small problems:

- there are always scrollbars (only a very small region is missing,
  and this seems to be independent of the window size)
  (I can send you a screenshot if you want)
- resizing the window, the map is sometimes not shown
- Zooming in a little and then
  dragging with the mouse vertically, there is no download of new
  tiles (just a grey area is displayed)
  Horizontally, this works without problem.

  Zooming in/out it may also happen the marker ends up in a grey
  area without a map.

- Trying to change between Map/Satellite/Hybrid view
  reproducibly displays nothing anymore from then on.

- After having successfully applied a position to an image,
  the embedded GPS display (in digikam), only shows
  "(nan, nan)"

Anyway, overall it looks very very nice - great work!

Now for me only off-line usage (e.g. using the maps from
http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_detail.php?id=7131)
and user-supplied maps (with a lot of detail)
would be my next wishes on the GPS side...

Many thanks for all your work,

Arnd

Google maps is only supported by konqueror from KDE > 3.5 ! Also i recommend
you to use a Safari browser id with goggle.com

Ah. i'm currenlty fix this problem. Don't use current Exiv2 from svn in
production, but only 0.11. This weekend, Andreas (Exiv2 coordinator), have
changed the output format of latitude/longitude (more user readable).

For that, some part of "Marble" source code can be used :

http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2412

But before i would to cleanup current implementation.

Is  3.5.4> 3.5 (I am thinking of the upcoming debian etch,
to which I might switch earlier ;-).

I will try again later.

OK, I went for the full bleeding edge ;-)

I don't know why scroll bars appears. In google map widget, both are always
disable.

Checkout source code and try again.

Sometimes I have this problem with 3.5.4 as well, also using standard
Konqueror, so it's not specific for the plugin.

Perhaps we should disable Google maps support for KDE <3.5?

Yes, you won't get a more recent stable release than 3.5.4, unless you wait
for the (imminent) release of 3.5.5 ;-)

Exiv2 interfaces fixed in svn (kipi-plugins and digiKam). Please update both
and try again.

Just done so, they are still there ...
(could this be because I am using kde 3.3.2?)

Best, Arnd
