A wiki allows users to easily create, edit and link web pages. Wikis are used for collaborative websites, power community websites, and are gaining high interest from commercial companies to provide affordable and effective intranets. It is all about knowledge management.
Major open-source projects have a wiki page - now digiKam has one as too...
It waits for your contribution, so please add them here...
The digiKam releases 0.9.3-beta3 and its English documentation. The tarballs can preferably be downloaded from SourceForge.
New Features
The main window has yet another live filter: The new string search filters the current view (album/collection, date, tags, search) on substrings within file name, caption, and tags. This feature is really convenient and completes the file type filter and rating filter introduced in previous 0.9.3-betas.
Several usability improvements in the Light Table
A green tint has been added to the b&w conversion plugin
Bugfixes FROM KDE BUGZILLA (https://bugs.kde.org):
For a long time now we have been planning to extend the amount of information we store in the database for the next version, 0.10, which will run on KDE4. As the database is the central storage and digikam is built around it, such a move involves deep structural changes. We have done preparations, discussed on the mailing list what we want and what we need, made up documentation, and then sat down to code. So during the last weeks I have been working on implementing the new database schema, and tonight I have merged my commits.
The digiKam development team is happy to release 0.9.3-beta1. The digiKam tarball can be downloaded from SourceForge as well. (0.9.3 will probably be the last release before we will switch over to KDE4 which will see a totally revamped digiKam.)
New features of the camera interface:
The camera interface is now used to import new images into collections.
There are new options to download pictures and delete them from the camera at the same time.
Support of Drag & Drop to download files from camera window to album window.
A progress bar has been added to indicate the available space in the Album Library Path
With the next releases of the digiKam, the time has come to find the ideal splash-screens to go with it. Now is your chance to join the ranks of the precious few who have had their artwork associated with a release of digiKam!
SplashScreen is a simple way for users to contribute to digiKam project. The pictures must be correctly exposed and composed, and the subject must be chosen using a real photographer inspiration.
The next stable release 0.9.3 of digiKam is planned to september. This version will includes few bug fix for KDE3 envirronement. For this release, we need 2 new splash-screens dedicaced to digiKam and Showfoto startup.
Note, than it will also the same about digiKam and Showfoto for KDE4 envirronement planned around december.
To resume, we need 4 color or black and white pictures, taken horizontally. We need only photos, no need to put few marks about program name and version. We have a template to do it later. See below the official 0.9.2 splash-screen as example:
Dear all digiKam fans! Some minor regression bugs led us to another release, the 0.9.2-beta3 release including an improved light table (full size images). The 0.9.2 final release is on track for mid June publishing. This beta3 version is rock-solid, don't hesitate to use it for production.
In order to make digiKam 0.9.2-beta3 compile you need to compile and install libkexiv2 and libkdcraw first (unless you complied them for beta[1,2] already).
The success story continues with the 0.9.2-beta2 release including a new light table (compare feature). The 0.9.2 final release is on track for mid June publishing. This beta2 version is rock-solid, don’t hesitate to use it for production. Beta1 and beta2 are rather used to improve usability than debugging.
