Export and versioning

Andreas Weigl
Hi

I have a couple of questions. I have versioning turned on and also write Metadata to the sidecar files. I use the digikam version from Philips kubuntu-backports .

digiKam version 2.9.0
Exiv2 can write to Jp2: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Jpeg: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Pgf: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Png: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Tiff: Yes
Exiv2 supports XMP metadata: Yes
LibCImg: 130
LibClapack: internal library
LibExiv2: 0.22
LibJPEG: 80
LibJasper: 1.900.1
LibKDE: 4.9.00
LibKExiv2: 2.3.0
LibKGeoMap: 2.0.0
LibKdcraw: 2.1.0
LibLCMS: 2020
LibLensFun: external shared library
LibLqr: internal library
LibPGF: 6.12.27 - internal library
LibPNG: 1.2.46
LibQt: 4.8.1
LibRaw: 0.14.7
LibTIFF: LIBTIFF, Version 3.9.5 Copyright (c) 1988-1996 Sam Leffler Copyright (c) 1991-1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Marble Widget: 0.14.0 (stable release)
Parallelized PGF codec: No
Parallelized demosaicing: Yes
Database backend: QSQLITE
LibGphoto2: 2.4.13
LibKface: 2.0.0
LibKipi: 1.6.0
LibOpenCV: 2.4.2
Libface: 0.2

It seems I can not upload pictures to my facebook account. I selected the Exprot to Facebook exporter. my web browser opened, I gave it my credentials, allowed kipi plugins to write to and I got a page with "Success". But when I click on ok in the dialog that informas me about the browser, it tells me that the operation failed because it was canceled by the user. What did I do wrong?

I then tried to export to a folder so I could simply use this folder and then upload the pictures via the web interface. Unfortunately "Export to remote computer" exported every version, so I had the original RAW file plus every saved version. This made me wonder, how do I specify which version is exported to one of the many available services. I also exported to my picasaweb and I am not sure if it always used the 'best' version. How do I specify that? Is there a way to just get the best version of pictures and export them to a directory?

As a last question, it seems that versioning isn't really available everywhere. It seems I can't simply create a new version with either the Batch Raw converter or the Batch Queue Manager. At least not when the Original is a CR2 file. Is there a solution for that that I miss?

Thanks in advance
Andy

Hi

no one anything to add? Probably means I will have to deactivate Versioning and do it the old way. Hope in future releases Versioning will work through out digikam.

Cheers,
Andy

Kipi plugins dont really know about versions at the moment. I assume that
either, if you export a full directory, it takes all files in there, or, if
you select a group of images to export, it will export there. We'll need to
extend or kipi implementation.

The Batch tools do not have good versioning support either. IIRC currently,
they will always generate a "new version".

will that change in 3.0.0 ?
If not I will probably drop versioning for now. Which is sad because I think it is really cool feature.

Thanks

No. no code is patched in libkipi about this subject.

Please open a file in KDE Bugzilla, into digiKam/libkipi section. Like
this i can propose this project to a future student.

Thanks in advance
