digiKam EXIF Data

[6and9.42]

Hello,

I've been using digiKam for about a month now and it's certainly a good
program! However I've run into a couple problems:

1. When I resize a picture, the new size is not reflected in the EXIF data
(PixelXDimension & PixelYDimension) which continues to show the original
image size. Is it possible to get digiKam to update this information? For me
it is critical that the correct information is there as once I've edited a
large number of pictures I extract the EXIF data in bulk and import it into a
database, the image size is determined by those 2 fields.

2. In the screenshots from the digiKam website i see that there are a number
of tabs on the right side of the main window (Meta Data, Tag Filters, etc.)
however my display only ever shows "Tag Filters". Are there some additional
plug-ins I need to install to get those options?

3. More of a request, does anyone know of plans to add an EXIF bulk export
feature to digiKam?


Thanks for the help! :)

Which version do you use?

Using 0.9 here, both problems are solved.

I'm running 0.8.2 on Kubuntu, though actually just this morning I had tried
installing 0.9 but ran into a number of problems with dependencies. I'll go
ahead and give it another try. Thanks.

idem, like an .exif binary file.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it does not look like 0.9 will run on
Kubuntu. Has anyone successfully run this version on Kubuntu Dapper?

I do run digikam 0.9 on my Dapper + Kubuntu KDE 3.5.4 and some unofficial
package I found (sort of experimental KUbuntu stuff). One of the things is
that exiv2 has to be updated (I rebuilt the package from edgy). In short not
trivial but definitely doable.

Thanks Hubert,

I've run ./configure in the digiKam folder wrote down the list of problems and
have managed to install just about everything. So when i run it now, the only
problem that it notifies me of is lacking gphoto2.

And that's where I've run into the problems since the latest version of
gphoto2 seemed to have extensive dependencies in Edgy. What version of
gphoto2 did you get installed?

Thanks again.

Other than needing as recent Exiv2 library, .9 will compile against
standard dapper libraries quite happily, and work quite happily.

Thanks for the quick help everyone! I've got the gphoto2 problem fixed (I had
failed to install the dev package) but now Exiv2 is acting up again.

I downloaded the source from the Exiv2 website and installed that. However
when I run 'sudo make install' for digikam it runs for awhile and then spits
out several 'undefined reference to `Exiv2...'  errors and stops. I tried a
clean install with the source from the Edgy repository instead and got the
same thing.

Do I need the latest libexiv2 and libexiv2-dev packages as well? As soon as I
started going down those paths I discovered a long list of dependencies that
it wanted...

Odds are you don't have Exiv2 in the default search path and linking
path that the digikam compile is using.

Exiv2, by default on compile, goes in /usr/local/lib (iirc - check where
yours went and alter accordingly).

Adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, and running ldconfig, should
allow digikam to compile.

It is libgphoto2 not gphoto2. Make sure you have libgphoto2-2-dev installed.

FYI here is the list of dependies the package I have here needs to build:

debhelper (>> 4.1), cdbs, kdelibs4-dev (>= 4:3.5.1-3), libexif-dev (>> 0.6.9),
libtiff4-dev, libgphoto2-2-dev, libkipi0-dev, automake1.9, libsqlite3-dev,
libexiv2-dev, liblcms1-dev, libltdl3-dev

I just took Debian or Ubuntu Edgy *source* package and rebuilt that. Not a
single problem.
