Because I build everything from ports. I have 922 ports installed, not more than 2 did I have to use the package for. Different philosophy but sometimes a distfile works in a couple different OpenBSD versions, sometimes FreeBSD, I've even built a few under Linux, and I look at the code sometimes to look up how to do something. Binaries are no better than Windows or Linux. I have to do everything through a dialup connection, lately cell phone.
Copied and pasted from the KDE GUI: [?1034h(no debugging symbols found) [Switching to thread 1012973] [KCrash handler] #6 0x06356219 in QGListIterator::QGListIterator () from /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.33.0 #7 0x07b080fd in Digikam::AlbumManager::setLibraryPath () from /usr/local/lib/libdigikam.so.3.0 #8 0x07b09ee0 in Digikam::DigikamApp::DigikamApp () from /usr/local/lib/libdigikam.so.3.0 #9 0x1b69437e in main () from /usr/local/bin/digikam Current language: auto; currently asm Now it comes up to a splash screen then immediately crashes before I can do anything at all. Initially it asked me to choose a default save directory, then crashed. It did put a digikam3.db file in there but hasn't overwritten it. The ports version is 0.9.6 but the built-in help doesn't do any good if the program crashes opening so I can't get to it. I'll look for the built-in documentation files though. Shotwell, from the DESCR is just for transferring off the camera and viewing. What I'm looking for would have to be pretty interactive, it would have to query the camera through libgphoto, find out its capabilities, then adjust its menus accordingly even if it just masked out things that camera can't do. And knowing about every camera on the planet? Not feasible. Something written in Glade might be flexible enough.
