https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149779&package_id=165761

To compile this KDE4 version, you need libkexiv2, libkdcraw, and libkipi for KDE4. These libraries are now included in KDE core with kdegraphic component.

With this new release, a new plugin named FbExport is born. It's dedicated to export images to FaceBook web service.

A plugin dedicated to export images to SmugMug web service is also available since beta5.

Another one is available to batch convert RAW camera images to Adobe DNG container (see this Wikipedia entry for details). To be able to compile this plugin, you need last libkdcraw from svn trunk (will be released with KDE 4.2). To extract libraries source code from svn, look at this page for details.

And another one, can batch remove red eyes automatically. it's based on OpenCV library.

For others depencies, consult the README file. There are also optional depencies to enable some plugins as libxml2 for HTLMExport or OpenGL for SlideShow tool.
