I use digikam mostly for tagging

then, if it's considered as digikam, the photo editor showfoto is just
fitted for a day to day very fast job

Also the fact that digikam share the very same album system that is
system folders, so going from digikam to dolphin/system scripts/etc. is
just obvious

I like also the sqlite database system that allows for easy move of the
collections

may be as five, but could be first, the user mailing list with Gilles
that is always here to give the true hint we need, very appreciated :-)

- The 16 bits color depth support natively.
- Fast photo adjustments in 3 clicks.
- Large amount of collection. Here more than 100000 items populate the database.
- Cross platform, even if OSX and Windows are not too mature than Linux. At least, i pass a lots of time to finalize bundles construction fully automatized. AppImage is supported which is really a huge step for deployment, when Linux distro only provide old version.
- This project exists since 2001, and is managed by people who like to take photo.
- Metadata transparent workflow.
and more...

I would definitely include that it scales very well with huge collections.
The rest is hard to put into flashy one-sentence sales pitches, as it is lots of handy features around picture management. Alone they don't sound overly impressive (flexible batch renaming, tagging and flagging, metadata handling, ...), but being able to do that seamlessly in one program/interface makes is really cool. Challenge for the linguistically gifted: Convert that to such a one-sentence advert :P

Looking at the responses and thinking in terms of general marketing, I think something along the lines of:

* Open Source
* Cross Platform
* Organizing (tags, geotagging, face-detect, etc)
* Scales (<100k items, no problem)
* Built by photographers (this may be on it's own line/section - but I feel it's important so that folks realize it's created/maintained by people like them).

Speaking of "built by photographers" - Do we have any headshots or images of the principal devs on the project?  Gilles?  Can we put a face to the project? :)

Hi all,

There is a page in new beta web site <hich need to be more visible and polished : "the donation"

This one is very important to list people who contribute with a little bit of money to see this project alive in time. I think it's important, especially if we want to organize some meeting in the future.
