digiKam digest - 2009-09-06

Submitted by mikolajmachowski on Wed, 2009-09-09 23:20

Intensive work on improvements in advanced renaming features. Continuing fixes in color management. New theme in HTML export. Usability fixes across application. Update libraw to 0.8.2.

One of crucial features for advanced photo management is feature rich renaming tool. Thanks to Andi Clemens digiKam now has this tool.

Users can now use metadata for renaming:
They don't have to remember all obscure names and can use nice dialog with filtering option:
If directory structure was used for storing of some info it can be put in filenames without much ado, also all possible formats for date can be used:

SVN commit 1018792 by aclemens:

Remove AuthorParser class, it is not clear enough what an author is (and
most of the time 'author / creator' will not be set in the metadata on
import anyway.
The author / creator can always be extracted with the MetadataParser.
We could instead create a CopyrightParser and query the template system,
if this should  ever be needed. This will work only in BQM since images
that are going to be imported have not been assigned a template yet.

SVN commit 1019076 by aclemens:

Add new DirectoryNameParser class to ManualRename utility:
This parser can be used to add a directory name (from the image
filepath).

The normal token [dir] will return the current directory, a sequence of
'.' characters can be used to move up in the directory hierarchy:

filePath: /mnt/data/fotos/2006/lala/0001.jpg
parseString: [dir..]_[dir.]_[dir]_$
will return:
fotos_2006_lala_0001.jpg
as the new filename.

SVN commit 1019339 by aclemens:

Use a timer to avoid immediate parsing of the ManualRenameWidget text.
Especially when using metadata keywords, entering a new name can be very
slow (strangely in BQM it is much slower then in CameraUI).
Using a timer gives the user enough time to enter the new name.

SVN commit 1019440 by cgilles:

updated internal Libraw to 0.8.2 release 

11 files changed

extragear/graphics/digikam (2009-09-04 12:59)


SVN commit 1019784 by aclemens:

First implementation of token selection in the ManualRenameInput widget:
CTRL+click on a token word in the line edit widget will mark it and
enable two buttons, to move the token around in the parse string.

Right now the movement is broken since I just changed nearly all code
before the commit (;-)), but at least the tokens can be selected.

To make this work, the main parser needs to generate a map of tokens,
where the key is a coordinate pair in the line edit widget and the value
is the replaced string. I think this is the most easy implementation, I
have not found a better solution yet. Since the line edit widget doesn't
know parsers (or at least token strings), it can not filter them
directly.
So the tokenMap seems to be the best solution.

Note: the tokenMap is not generated in BQM and therefore selecting
tokens won't work in there. I have not yet figured out why, need to
check that.

The next steps: Fix movement, maybe highlight token words (either by
mouse over or my different colors, but this is not possible with
KLineEdit).

extragear/graphics/digikam/utilities/manualrename (2009-09-04 13:46)


SVN commit 1019792 by aclemens:

Fix token selection: if a token could not be parsed (this happens quite
often in MetadataParser), it was not selectable, since the map was not
generated correctly. To fix this, create an entry in the map and
parseString for every token that the parser analyzed and set it with a
special string (right now "!!!EMPTY!!!"). When creating the final new
name, remove this special string from the name again.

SVN commit 1019827 by mwiesweg:

Fix subtle bug in the JPEG loader that broke scanning images:
jpeg_finish_decompress was moved from the data loading code down below reading the ICC profile,
which was broken previously because the decompressing had already been closed.
When image data is not loaded (as for scanning), calling jpeg_finish_decompress without
calling jpeg_start_decompress before resulted in an error, which meant the loader returned
false before setting width and height.

Changing the tooltip again...

tooltip that can be seen when clicking the info button.

SVN commit 1020044 by aclemens:

We can not assume that a parse has been run before calling the
tokenMap() method.
Also creating the map on every parse is inefficient, too. Instead of
creating the map in the parse() method, create it in the tokenMap()
method by applying the parse string.
This way the tokenMap is only created when CTRL+clicking in the line
edit widget.

This will also fix the token selection in BQM.

SVN commit 1020478 by aclemens:

API change: Parser::parse() is not the abstract method anymore, use
parseTokenString() now to implement the parsing functionality.

Since every parse method starts with a stringIsValid check, we have
repetitive code here. To void this, make parse() a normal class method
and use the abstract method parseTokenString() to implement the actual
parsing.
parseTokenString() is called from within parse(), after the checks have
been done.

I will provide a patch to enable it, but this patch also is not able to
