I just found the digikam-users mailing list.
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to make sure I'm getting mail. I just started using digikam though I've been reading about it for quite some time. I'm using 9.2 on Ubuntu though I may soon figure out how to run more recent versions. I have to say, I'm very impressed so far. My compliments to the developers. The only major bug I've found so far is a dependency on Konqueror when using the "export to flickr" feature. Specifically when you select export to flickr it looks for the service "kfmclient". I correctly deduced this was Konqueror because Digikam is a KDE project and indeed after installing Konqueror I was able to properly authorize and use Digikam's export to flickr feature. Right now I'm having a hard time geo tagging my photos. I'm hoping someone may provide me some feedback on how to get this working. I've found the GPS tab... but it appears that all the options are greyed out. I know I've seen some screen snaps on the digikam website showing this feature working, so I assume that you can plot a GPS point for a photo even if there was none in the EXIF info from the camera (most camera's still don't do GPS of course). So far I'm very pleased. I have not used iPhoto since version 6, and I hear it has some newer features, but hands down from what I've seen DigiKam blows iPhoto away. I just hope I can figure out how to get it installed on my Macbook sometime soon. Right now I'm using it on Ubuntu. Again, my compliments to the chef. I'm amazed at how highly developed the editing, batch processing, and other features are. Eat my shorts iPhoto. :) I look forward to chatting with others in the Digikam community. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Look under the image menu. Yes, you can add GPS information to an image that doesn not have a GPS builtin. If you have data from a GPS you will need to convert it to the GPX format. GPSbabel is an excellent tool for this.

Which distribution are you using? Under debian etch, digikam Recommends: digikamimageplugins, kipi-plugins, kdeprint, konqueror So usually this gets installed automatically. Essentially, this should be handled properly by your linux distribution, in my opinion ....

Howdy,
Still have yet to find digikam's achilles heal. Found the geolocation stuff in the images menu. It works great! Still doing some data portablility tests and export to flickr tests. The only big question I have left is exactly how much of the rating, comments, and other photo specific metadata is retained in the photos? The obvious reason for this is archiveability, and because I'm likely to use these photos with various OS's and photo applications. The only negatives i've found are the minor bug / dependency on Konqueror for authorization of Flickr export, and that it's not obvious that you need to install the kipi plugin's which should be recommended or added by default I think. My version info. Am using Ubuntu Gutsy gibbon, installed digiKam withSynaptic package manager. Using version 0.9.2 final "using KDE 3.5.8" whatever that means. Kipi plugins 0.1.5, and a bunch of other stuff. I think there's another plugin library (digikamimageplugin) that I may still need to install. I really want to be able to run this on my Mac as well. Going to have to install X11 and FInk Manager I think. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog On Jan 18, 2008 1:44 AM, Arnd Baecker <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > On Thu, 17 Jan 2008, Mike Meiser wrote: > > [...] > > > The only major bug I've found so far is a dependency on Konqueror when > > using the "export to flickr" feature.

Howdy, Hello Mike, Digikamimageplugins used to be a separate package. However, it has since been integrated into digikam. Best Regards, - Gerry _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
