Hi all users,
I'm looking for the future, and i finalize step by step the C++
digiKam plugin interface (DPlugins). If you look in my github account,
you will see activity about to port external tools to DPlugins. i also
well advanced to port older Photo Layout Editor kipi plugins to cmake,
Qt5, and Dplugins.
I also take a look in Krita code, and i seen than Krita C++ plugin
interface is open to Python. As i can see this not require too much
C++ code to do it.It's eventually a way to go in the future, if
external contributors will join the game and write new extension for
digiKam.

I already write small scripts in the
past, especially for the bundling (aka AppImage, MacOS, and Windows).
But my top level skill since 35 years now is C/C++ of course.
What do you think about this? As this language is more and more
popular, do you want to see Python capabilities in digiKam or not ?
The topic is open. In bugzilla, we always have a wish about to add
scripting feature...
Best
