Fantastic work! Thank you very much for your tremendous effort :-)

Now, moving on... Is anything progressing on the front to provide an all-encompassing set of FULL instructions for the many Newbs out here who still have trouble compiling the program and all of its various dependencies? It truly is a shame not to be able to enjoy the updated features of this terrific program because we're simple photographers but not coding wizards :-(

DigiKam compilation instructions

I'm not asking to be given something that we can install by the click of one button (although it would be nice!). All I'm asking for is that if we have to compile a bunch of stuff, a road map (a detailed road map) is provided. If anybody is willing to do this, pretend that you're writing it for a two year-old child. Then the instructions should be easy enough for us to follow. No wait: I'm sure that any two year-old living with a serious coder would be more capable than me. A better idea would be to write the instructions as if your hamster is to read it.

Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

Erick Moreno
Hi Hevï,

You can just add the Phillip Johnsson's ppa repository:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:philip5/extra

This repository is constantly updated with release versions packed to Ubuntu. After run the above command you can just run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install digikam

And be updated.
I'm running 1.8.0 under Ubuntu 10.10 as a charm.

Cheers
Erick Moreno

Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

Jim Dory-2
In reply to this post by J Albrecht
Keep in mind that it depends on what distribution of linux you are
working with. On my system, I could easily create a button that
installs Digikam. All it would have to say is "emerge digikam" and I
would have the latest stable release and all dependencies - no
worries. And it builds from source.

Point is that I don't see how the developers of Digikam can be held
responsible for the lousy package systems of all distributions. (Lousy
in this sense anyway). One caveat is the latest stable release on my
distro is still at 1.7, but I expect today or next day or two it will
be bumped up to 1.8. They are usually on it within a day or two. I've
also built from SVN using the very thorough cook-book-like
instructions given by Gilles or a partner on the website when I needed
functionality of that latest development release. I can see that a
newb could have trouble there though.

cheers, JD

Oops. Sorry if somehow that is what I had implied. On the contrary, I applaud dK's developers for their great work. Specifically, for me and those in my situation, it's the Ubuntu packagers who are making things difficult.

also built from SVN using the very thorough cook-book-like

Well, that's just the point: It is indeed something that presents us with trouble. Hence the requirement for a hamster-readable cook-book ;-)

Thank you :)
Metadata get read again in raw development, and I like having my Sony
makernotes visible :)

However, I hit another snag when developing RAW files (Sony ARW in my case):
it usedd to be that if I added an EV correction, and then decided it was too
much, the new (lower) correction was applied to the original RAW output (i.e.
an image update after having lowered an EV correction was less luminous);
with the 1.8.0 version, the second lower correction is applied to the already
corrected image => severe over correction and no way to get back, except
through an update in the RAW tab
(say I start with a correction of +.3, then decide +.2 would have been better:
in <=1.7.0 I ended up with a correction of +.2,
in 1.8.0 I end up with a correction of +.5...)

Any suggestion about where the bug is (Kipi, Digikam, elsewhere)?

Regards

Remco

Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

Bugzilla from tc@tomcloyd.com
In reply to this post by Erick Moreno
Thank you!!!

Following these very simple instructions, I have now installed Digikam 1.8.0 on my Kubuntu 10.10 Linux.

NOW, I strongly suggest that the Digikam website be updated to inform others of this resource and installation option. More people should be able to quickly enjoy the latest stable version.

The website should say something about this version's being compiled for the Ubuntu family of Linux (which I assume is the right way to describe it).

Do that and we're really cookin', as they say!

Thanks Erick! However, am I going to run into the same issues as I had encountered earlier with the older version of exiv2 being used? Could you please have a look on your dK 1.8.0 to see which version is installed? exiv2 0.19 is unadulterated evil for Nikon shooters!

To their defense (and not only Ubuntu's), updating to a newer Digikam version
might imply upgrading a large part of the KDE packages: OpenSuse has Digikam
1.2.0 in the default installation, with the corresponding KDE version.
I can get the newer versions of Digikam, by using other, potientially less
stable repositories (KDE 4.5 for Digikam 1.7.0, and KDE 4.6 for DK 1.8.0).
That's not really a fault of OpenSuse, nor of Digikam/KDE.

So for us it's easy to say "Lousy distributors, can't even upgrade my  
favourite program straight away". BUT, they have the obligation to make sure
that such an upgrade doesn't break someone else's favourite program....

Hi,

I just dicovered the same behaviour here. digiKam 1.8.0 and kipi-plugins 1.8.0.

Just tested with a crw-file. It's not just the EV correction, e.g.
brightness is broken  the same way.

Report this problem in Libraw (www.libraw.org), used in background by digiKam.

Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

In reply to this post by Remco Viëtor
Hevï,

In my system, I have exiv2 0.19 installed.
But I think that this ppa repository will not change your exiv2 installed version, since it is grater than the one shipped in the repository.

Try update the Digikam, I don't believe that this will downgrade your exiv2. If this happens, you can always upgrade your exiv2 again =/

Cheers

In reply to this post by Anders Stedtlund
Hi,

Reinstalled kipi-plugins 1.7.0, still problems. Then resinstalled
digiKam 1.7.0, all back to normal again.

Re: digiKam and Kipi-plugins 1.8.0 released...

Gilles Caulier-4
Check if problem is not in digiKam rc config file. rename it to .old
and try again (you need to reconfigure digiKam of course)

Hevï,

In my system, I have exiv2 0.19 installed.
But I think that this ppa repository will not change your exiv2 installed version, since it is grater than the one shipped in the repository.

This is what I was afraid of!


Try update the Digikam, I don't believe that this will downgrade your exiv2. If this happens, you can always upgrade your exiv2 again =/

Oh no!! Can anybody confirm that if I upgrade to dK 1.8, it will use my current version of exiv .20?

Like the last time, it's libkexiv2 which is involved in which version of  
exiv2 is used by Digikam.

Digikam will call default libkexiv2 version, so if you re-compile  
libkexiv2 default version with exiv2 0.20, I think if you update Digikam,  
it should kept in use the right exiv2 version.

So, I think if you've kept your compiled libkexiv2, Digikam 1.8 should use  
exiv2 0.20...

But it has to be verified...

Hi Hevï,

I just make the upgrade, and if I uncheck the libkexiv2-8 packet, Digikam  
seems to use exiv 0.20.

The only ugly think (but not linked to DK 1.8 upgrade), is that update  
manager want to update my libkexiv2 packet with the official repository  
packet but with the exactly same version number.


So always think to uncheck libkexiv2-8 in "to update list" and you shoul  
keep the use of exiv2 0.20
