XMP metadata editor: only KDE4?

Daniel Bauer-2
Hi all,

Am I right that the new metadata editor capabilities are only available with
KDE4 environment and not with KDE 3.5.x?

Or did I (once again) compile something wrong?

regards

Daniel

Yes, this is being written for the KDE4 branch.

Even though I haven't tested it myself yet, it is important to emphasize
that it should not be used for production and will require
extensive testing
(it is a major change in many respects, including a change
in the database...).

Well, if it worked, you have at least an up-to-date version
with a couple of nice features (improved light-table, rating and
file filter and such).
(BTW: comments are, as always, very welcome - I very much enjoyed
your input for digikam ...)

Best, Arnd

Oh, so I'll have to keep my curiosity under control until KDE releases the
final 4 :-)

thanks for the hint. I'll consider this, but I guess for the moment I stay
with the update from today anyway... at least for a while...

It worked. I just had to delete some old stuff to make the install successful
(don't know what was really necessary to delete - I just deleted everything)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'd really like to be more active here, but as I
rarely play, and if I do, they always draw the wrong numbers in lotto, I
still have to do some work from time to time ;-)

However I always enjoy the work with digiKam and have nothing to complain
about this great tool  (except of "my metadata things", of course, and I am
*very* curious to see the emprovements...).

same to you all

looks impressive!

Because hovering the icons on the screenshots doesn't work [ :-)) ] I don't
know nothing about the functions, of course, (default values, loading own
predefined lists, write to more than 1 pic etc.) and so I cannot say anything
more than that it really looks good. At least it will be a reason to update
to KDE4 when it's ready...

kind regards

Daniel
