Fwd: Install of Digital v2.5 on standard 64 bit Kubuntu
 
|
Dear all, Given the problems I'm having with v2.1.1, I was thinking about upgrading to v.2.5. Can someone please point me to instructions on how to add the correct ppa and complete an upgrade to v2.5? I'm currently running Digikam v2.1.1 on KDE 4.7 on Kubuntu 11.10 64bit. I've had a quick look but can't seem to find anything specifically relevant to my setup. Thanks Mark. _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Martin,
Thanks for the swift reply. Apologies for this though - how do I use this link? Normally, don't you just add a ppa to the sources list and then update? This link takes me directly to what looks like an ftp site. I'm afraid that I just don't know how to use this. Could you please let me know the best way to install? Apologies once again. Thanks in advance, Mark. > Hi, _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi
A more informative link to what Martin is talking about is: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra Add that PPA and update or install Digikam and the dependencies it wants or all you want from the PPA. If you would install KDE 4.8 from the Kubuntu teams PPA with your current setup then you should also use my kubuntu-backports PPA at: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/kubuntu-backports Hope you know how to add a PPA as source or can read it from the links above. Otherwise feel free to ask or drop a line if you have any questions with the packages. Happy digikaming! /Philip On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 7:27 AM, Mark Hayes (Hotmail) <[hidden email]> wrote: > Dear all, > > Given the problems I'm having with v2.1.1, I was thinking about upgrading to > v.2.5. > > Can someone please point me to instructions on how to add the correct ppa > and complete an upgrade to v2.5? > > I'm currently running Digikam v2.1.1 on KDE 4.7 on Kubuntu 11.10 64bit. > > I've had a quick look but can't seem to find anything specifically relevant > to my setup. > > Thanks > > Mark. > > > _______________________________________________ > Digikam-users mailing list > [hidden email] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users > Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Realizing that the list likely gets a bit more WTF than not, I want to
tell the Digikam devs what an incredibly great application it is. Here's the scenario -- a new computer purchase resulted in data backup. But data restore went awry and ALL images were lost. Yes, Yes, I know. But once the milk is spilt. So, data recovery to the rescue. But UGH! The tools out there are damned impressive. They find a BAZILLION copies of things (way too many -- think cached images from browsers, and system thumbnails, etc.!). And number each file with a sequential numeric string. Again, UGH! So, I have my library back, but I have incorrect names which are in no way organized AND I have LOTS of duplicates. LOOOOTS. As many as six of some images and I have data going back eight years. <sigh> Two tools furthered the rescue effort. I use Linux, of course, and one tool is a commandline script that reads EXIF create-date data and uses *nix magic to create a directory structure and filename from that EXIF data. So, now all my files are organized by YYYY/MM/DD with names like DSCN_YYYYDDMMTHHMMSS.ext, etc. Which is a helluva lot better than the old YYYY-MM-DD/DSCN_SEQUENTIAL_CAMERA_NUMBER.EXT I had before. I will continue to use this script for it works with jpg, png, NEF, and NRW files and I like this organizational scheme quite a lot. But what to do about the dupes? Digikam! Update the fingerprints for all images and search for dupes. Now, I know it's going to take me well over a week to wade through them all because there are so many (and I do wish there was a Delete/Trash icon I could drag selected images to rather than having to right-click, scroll to Move to Trash to get rid of them--but that's just a quibble). But -- there they are all nice and orderly in the Dupes list. Just scroll down and select/delete and dupes are taken care of. Brilliant! What a tremendous resource!! Many, many thanks.

Hi Guy
Would you let us know the names of the two tools you used? Your scenario is one at least some of us may also encounter.

John asked about the two tools I used for my image collection
restore/rename. One was digikam of course. The other is a commandline shell script that uses exif_tool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ It's available for Win/Mac/*Nix. I'm using Linux (kubuntu 11.10) and the script below is what uses exif_tool and a bit of *nix magic. The gist of it is using output from exif_tool exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file parsed through awk awk '{print $2} to isolate just the date/time output, which is then added to a string to form a filename path: $HOME/Pictures/<awk_output> which is assigned to a variable DEST. That variable is the new path/filename. The install command is what actually renames the input file and does the move. If a file already exists with the name, the install command will not overwrite the existing file, but will append ~#~ to the end fo the file being moved, with # replaced the a real number. The shell script is very basic and could with a bit of work be more elegant but it is functional and at present I'd rather just use it and futz with it. If you're familiar with using commandline tools like this in the Linux world just copy between the <quote></quote> to a file, set the file executable (chmod +x <filename>), and put it where it can be found (somewhere in the PATH env variable paths, e.g., /usr/local/bin). You can remove the # before set -x and the script will output what it's doing as it does it): <quote> #!/bin/bash # copy image files in and below the current(!) directory to # ~/Pictures/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/DSCN_YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.jpg # # requires exiftool (pacman -S perl-exiftool) # # Designate filetype on command line: # %> exif_rename.pl jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|tif|TIF|nrw|NRW|nef|NEF #set -x args=("$@") FILETYPE=${args[0]} if [[ $FILETYPE = "jpg" || $FILETYPE = "JPG" ]] ; then for file in *.jpg *.JPG; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').jpg" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done elif [[ $FILETYPE = "gif" || $FILETYPE = "GIF" ]] ; then for file in *.gif *.GIF; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN__%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').gif" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done elif [[ $FILETYPE = "png" || $FILETYPE = "png" ]] ; then for file in *.png *.PNG; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').png" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done elif [[ $FILETYPE = "tif" || $FILETYPE = "TIF" ]] ; then for file in *.tif *.TIF; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').tif" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done elif [[ $FILETYPE = "nrw" || $FILETYPE = "NRW" ]] ; then for file in *.nrw *.NRW; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').nrw" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done elif [[ $FILETYPE = "nef" || $FILETYPE = "NEF" ]] ; then for file in *.nef *.NEF; do dest="$HOME/Pictures/$(exiftool -S -d "%Y/%m/%d/DSCN_%Y%m \ %dT%H%M%S" -EXIF:DateTimeOriginal $file | awk '{print $2}').nef" echo "$file -> $dest" install --backup=numbered -v -D -m 644 "$file" "$dest" && rm -rf "$file" done else echo "No image files found." fi% </quote> On 03/07/2012 03:05 AM, John Bestevaar wrote: > Hi Guy > Would you let us know the names of the two tools you used? > Your scenario is one at least some of us may also encounter. > Cheers John Bestevaar > > On 07/03/12 16:13, Guy Stalnaker wrote: >> *nix magic > _______________________________________________ > Digikam-users mailing list > [hidden email] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users -- "There is only love, and then oblivion.

Thanks very much Guy. I have Ubuntu 10.04 and Digikam 1.2.0 but as an
visual artist aged 65 and therefore late coming to computers, i have next to no skills with the command line, scripts etc or understanding what the..... is actually going on there. However.. I am convinced of the argument that image meta data can be a powerful way to control images. Embedding QR codes in the metadata comes to mind. I have read Phil Harvey's website and agree with him in principle even though i cant use his tool. My own website building project would certainly be much better if the images metadata GUI tools were available even if i had to pay for them.
