Get Digikam and K3B to cooperate nicely?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France), and a 100%
GNU/Linux user since 2001.

I've recently installed Digikam 0.8.0 on my Slackware 10.2 (compiled
everything from source, went nice, though it was a bit of a hassle with my
dialup connection:oD).

I'm currently testing the Album > Export > CD Archive option. I had to fill in
the full path to k3b (which is /opt/kde/bin on my Slack). When I leave the
--nofork option, nothing happens. Looks like some temp file is erased too
early. I tried to leave out the --nofork option: now k3b opens OK, but with
an error message "Can't open document". But then, I simply click on "OK", and
I can burn my archive CD allright.

Is there a workaround for this? I've googled around a bit, and found the trick
with the wrapper script:

k3b --nofork $1

... but this doesn't work. K3b doesn't start.

Anyone got this to work flawlessly?

Cheers,

Niki Kovacs

Well, i recomend you to use drag and drop between digikam and k3b...

In future release, I think that we need to disable cd archiving plugin. A new
tool will be planed (included in digikam core) to backup properly albums AND
digikam database.

1) Salut :oD

2) You mean (continuing in English for the benefit of non-french speakers)
create an HTML album without reducing image size, and then burn the archive?

Cheers,

Niki

No. Using Drag & drop between digikam and K3b, you lost all benefits to
contruct HTML interface of CD archive, but you can choose easily albums.
