Taking the plunge: Digikam 2. Are my photos safe?

[Dotan Cohen]

I'm willing to risk the loss of my Digikam database, but not my photos
themselves. Is it safe, then, to start testing Digikam 2 beta 2?

Data on computer is never safe, only safer and less safe, the latter
more probable with beta versions.

Never backed up your photos? Get ready for losing them one day anyway...

P.S. I am using the git version and things work - for me.

Milan

I think it's safe.

Where code is in beta :

1/ versioning,
2/ XMP sidecar
3/ face detection
4/ reverse gecoding.
5/ tags keyboard shortcuts
6/ color labels
7/ pick labels

The most sensible part is versioning. But you can drop it in your
workflow and test it as well with test images.

All others parts do not touch to image data.

Note : 5/6/7 will appears in beta 3, in 1 week. I currently finalize
implementation.

Thanks, Milan. I backup the photos monthly. I cannot back them up more
often than that. Furthermore, Digikam is my interface to bringing the
photos into the computer from the camera.

Thanks, though!

Thanks, Gilles. I am actually very interested in versioning, so I will
only test that feature on disposable photos. I will wait 1 week for
the beta 3. I hope that someone saves me some trouble and packages a
Kubuntu .deb! Digikam is _hard_ to compile!

If anybody is counting how many people feel the same way as Dotan does, you can add me to the tally...  :-)

Add me too! ;-)

Where can I find the instructions of "how to install the latest (beta) version of DK in your computer"?
