Also I can't find a Rotate in the Image menu, what's there is the "Correct Exif Orientation Tag", the Rotate is only in the Transform menu of the Image Editor. So, to rotate an image one has to open it up in the Image Editor and then rotate it there. The documentation says there's an easier way by right clicking on the thumbnail, are you really saying this has been removed? -- Chris Green ([hidden email]) _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

This is a > query ask by digiKam users. So how do those of us for whom this breaks Digikam badly (and potentially thus breaks Linux, unless a sufficiently strong alternative to Digikam has emerged since I was last looking) get it put back in? And how many Digikam users asked for it to be removed, compared with those who use it regularly and didn't know there was any intention to remove something so vital to our use of the software? At least half of the images I download from my camera need rotation. Select them all in the album view, right-click and 'rotate' and it's a quick job to set up - for (say) 30 images that's 32 clicks. Opening each in the image editor, right-click to rotate, then clicking to confirm a save each time is going to take far too long. It's 120 clicks for that same 30 images (right-click menu, rotate, next image, confirm save) , and each one has to be loaded into the image editor before the rotation can start. Surely you can't mean to make Digikam so user-hostile. Make it a configurable option if you like for people who only ever take pictures in one orientation, but for the rest of us please leave it in. -- David Aldred _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

My apologies. I'm talking about all "Batch" kipi-plugins menu entries witch have been really removed from the context menu... excepted the Rotate of course (:=))). Look here : http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/digikam0.9.0-rc2.png ... This is very confusing for me, because JPEGLossLess is also a batch tool...

See the message I've just posted about missing libkexif.so.1, I though Plugin_JPEGLossless was being loaded correctly but it wasn't. I have installed from Slackware packages from http://www.linuxpackages.net/ and have the following:- digikam-0.9.0_beta3-i486-1asz.tgz libgphoto2-2.2.1-i486-1asz.tgz exiv2-0.11-i486-1asz.tgz libkipi-0.1.4-i486-1mht.tgz kipi-plugins-0.1.2-i486-1mht.tgz sqlite3-3.3.8-i486-1kjz.tgz It looks like one of these should have libkexif.so.1 in it but hasn't. -- Chris Green ([hidden email]) _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
