I second Jack's message.

The most impressive thing that the open source software beats most of it's closed-source and proprietary counterparts.

Thank you Gilles for all your efforts.

I agree. I couldn't live without Digikam.

Hello digiKam-Team,

I want to join the praise choir:
Thanks a lot for all the great work, you put in the digiKam-Projekt.

Just checked some of my old photos: The oldest ones carry "digiKam-1.1.0" in
their metadata. Those photos are from 2009.

So digiKam is my tool of choice to handle photos on my linux machine for over 10
years!

You are great. Thank you all!

Regards,
        Peter

Ditto!

I've checked mine, and some have digiKam 0.9.1 (March, 2007) or 0.9.2
(June, 2007)... That's a lot of years using nothing but Digikam to
manage my images.

Thank you all!

Thanks to all for your feedbacks...

Just few words to details a plan for the future deployment.

* Under Windows, we enable, hack, and try tp finalize the Microsoft
Visual C++ support. All the code already compile in the continuous
integration :

https://build.kde.org/view/OS%20-%20Windows/job/Extragear/job/digikam/job/kf5-qt5%20WindowsMSVCQt5.14/

This stage is mandatory to be able to publish digiKam in the Windows
Store as an official package !

The second stage is have the binary factory working fine to compile
the package. For the moment it do not work, but we working on.

https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Digikam_Nightly_win64/

KDE has a generic windows Store account that we will use later to post
official stable release. I hope to see the final 7.0.0 published on
store.

* Recently, Apple open the MacOS store to a free of charge for
organizations. So we can plan a similar publication of digiKam in this
store later.

Hey,

While I see that you are looking at getting this in the Microsoft/Apple store, will this mean that at some people we won't be able to download and install like we do today?

I am sure that there are people out there (like me) who dislike the Microsoft store.

Cheers

No. weekly build still exists in all cases.

The store publications are only for stable releases only.

For the M$ store, we MUST compile digiKam under MSVC. We cannot
publish binary cross compiled as it done today under Linux. Also the
tool to build UWP package for Windows platforms exist only under
Windows with MSVC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Windows_Platform

I see one advantage to build under MSVC : code consolidation
everywhere. this compiler report errors and warnings that G++ or Clang
never report.

Else compiling under windows is complex and slowwww...
