New Design for digiKam Camera Interface
Submitted by cauliergilles on Wed, 2007-08-29 15:24
Recently, i redesigned the camera interface to be more homogenous with the rest of digiKam (album view, light table and image editor)
The old implementation used a simple dialog to host camera interface contents. This way been an huge limitation to add new options for the future. Also, the dialog layout been not optimum.
Now, we use a status bar, a tool bar and a standard menu. On status bar, a widget provide a speed way to change thumbs size. Also, this version is able to show XMP metadata.
We have planed to use this new interface to import pictures from everywhere and not only from cameras.
