trouble with image degradation using DK with kipi-plugin: flickr export

[Andrew Goodbody]

Hi Giles,

I was not sure if I should add to that bug or not as I am still using
1.9.0 and I am not sure if it matches what is talked about in that bug
anyway.

But just to add a couple of data points to this thread:

1) When I am tagging images, the progress bar works as expected for the
first group of images only.

2) I have DK set to write the metadata to the image files.

3) The progress bar sits at 0% until it has finished writing the
metadata to the files, at which point it goes away.

4) My CPU is an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 at 2.40GHz.

1.9.0 is pretty old. in this bug report, we talking about Progress
Manager introduced with 2.6.0-beta1. Implementation have been
completly re-written...

This is interresting. Group handling is perhaps not properly
implemented, in 1.x and 2.x. I will reprot this point to Marcel.

Ah, it's an HDD data workflow problem.

in 1.9.0, will still use single CPU for all in digiKam

Only with 2.6.0, we use multicore CPU. This must increase speed issue...

Hi folks,

i use the windows version:
Version 3.0.0
Using KDE Development Platform 4.9.5

and i have the same issue at the end of 2012 - 2013 about the color space conversion at the flickr export.  If i make a sRGB colorspace conversion with the image editor, gimp or photoshopper and export this picture to flickr all is fine. But so i must create copys of each photo to avoid the loss of the bigger color space of my archive photos ... and this creates a intricate workflow

Exists actually a patch to solve this?

Cheers

Steffen

There is an 'ICC conversion' tool in the batch queue. Depending on your
workflow, that might be just what you need. For me it would be something
like:
- Select images to upload,
- put in batch queue
 - add tools to use:
        'ICC conversion', 'resize', 'unsharp mask', and 'convert to jpeg'.

I work in RAW and store edited full-sized images as PNG, to be converted
to proper format when output is needed (web, print, slideshow, ...).

Regards,

Remco
