Wishes for future versions

Hi,
I have been using Digikam for a while now, and I find it the best suited to my needs. There's still a number of things I'd liek to see added, so I decided to drop the list here to see if others are interested in those features, and if some are already planned (in that case, no need to clutter the bugzilla wishlist). So, what I'm missing is: - a 'levels' tool - a tool in batch queue to write metadata from the database to the image files - a way to save and restore a list of batch queue commands - a way to save a slideshow (in dvd-slideshow format?) - possibility to select a point/area in a raw image to determine white balance Please comment :) I'm quite willing to start coding on some parts of this, after discussion with the maintainers (to avoid me starting on something that's about to be overhauled).

I'm afraid I'm not very interested in all the image editing tools as I use Darktable to post process my RAW files. I don't make slideshow very often, by I use a specific program for that, too.
But I agree for any addition/improvment in the batch queue commands. Save/restore would be very nice; and would also be for the printing assistant tool.

I think I read that this is in the queue already. > - a way to save a slideshow (in dvd-slideshow format?) Yes. > - possibility to select a point/area in a raw image to determine white balance Yes. May have been requested already, not sure. > > Please comment :) The big one that I would like to see is to be able to copy a set of tags from one image and copy them to one or more other images. Next I would like the xmp sidecar file support to be knocked into shape. You should be able to better control where metadata is read from (ie allow from image and sidecar), merging it if necessary, and where it is written to. This could need to be different for raw vs. 'developed' image formats. There are also sporadic reports of issues with tagging CR2 raw files and then propagating those tags to the 'developed' files. This is not something I have tried, but I would like it to work. Not sure if getting xmp sidecar files working properly would help here.

Apologies for the careless editing :( I'll use the occasion to elaborate a bit about the why of some items. Ideally, I would like to be able to edit one image in the normal editor (starting from a raw file or any other format) and then apply the same treatment for a series of other images. In order for that to work, tools need to be present in both the editor and the batch queue manager, and the tools need to accept the same set of parameters. (and ideally the same code, as far as possible, of course). With the versioning system in place, a lot of the required information is now available/stored somewhere. When we get the missing tools in the batch queue, we could use the versioning info to replay the used treatment on another file.

It takes too many clicks to remove a duplicate image, making it infeasible to use for anything other than a very small number of pictures. You need to click the item in the list, then figure out which pictures you want you want to delete, then click those pictures , then click delete, then wait for the file to delete, and only after the deleting is done can you move onto the next picture. It could easily take 20 or 30 seconds per set, and if you have thousands of duplicates (easy if you are trying to merge pictures from two computers with lots of overlap but different metadata), that could easily be ten hours of tedious clicking. This actually is exactly the case I am in right now Having a single browser for all duplicate pictures, for instance with each row being a duplicate set, and each column being a folder, would make it easy to remove duplicates from a particular folder easily and quickly. -Todd _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
