Sorry, I should have posted the last email to the general list! Anyway, I was wondering if the discussion has already happened in relation to including KDE apps. I know for me f-spot isn't up to the task of maintaining my image collection. It's a decent manager, but one that I wouldn't describe as being a 'professional' grade. There are a couple of reasons for this:
1) When browsing a large image library (~10,000 images) f-spot seems to be a bit slow in its response, while Digikam seems to be more snappy. (sorry for no concrete data supporting this!) 2) Digikam has a batch processing utility. You can queue it up to adjust all sorts of things like color, brightness, resize, crop, watermaking, etc... and then let it go. F-spot doesn't seem to offer this. 3) Digikam can view all sorts of file formats - everything from RAW(although I'm not sure if you are seeing the 'real' RAW photo, maybe just a quick jpg) to jpg as far as photos, as well as gimps native xcf, and even inkscape's svg drawings and page layouts! I understand that adding kde libraries adds a number of functions that are duplicated in gtk libraries. However, there are other pretty good programs out there for KDE (K3b, Kdenlive) So what do people think? -- Benjamin
