An easy to use interface is provided + to connect to your digital camera, preview the images and download + and/or delete them. + + The digiKam built-in image editor makes the common photo correction + a simple task. The image editor is extensible via plugins and, + since the digikamimageplugins project has been merged to digiKam core + since release 0.9.2, all useful image editor plugins are available + in the base installation. + + digiKam can also make use of the KIPI image handling plugins to + extend its capabilities even further for photo manipulations, + import and export, etc. The kipi-plugins package contains many + very useful extentions. + + digiKam is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group. + + +-- AUTHORS ------------------------------------------------------------ + +See AUTHORS file for details. + + +-- RELATED URLS ------------------------------------------------------- + +digiKam : http://www.digikam.org +kipi-plugins : http://www.kipi-plugins.org + +-- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------ + +If you have questions, comments, suggestions to make do email at : + +digikam-users@kde.org + +If you want contribute to digiKam developments do email at : + +digikam-devel@kde.org + +IRC channel from irc.freenode.org server: #digikam + +-- BUG REPORTS -------------------------------------------------------- + +IMPORTANT : the bug reports and wishlist entries are hosted by the KDE bug report +system which can be reached from the standard KDE help menu of digiKam. +A mail will automaticly be sent to the digikam development mailing list. +There is no need to contact directly the digikam mailing list for a bug report +or a devel wish. + +The current bugs and devel wishes reported to the bugilla servers can be seen +at these urls : + +* digiKam (KDE bugzilla): + +http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=digikam&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED + +* Image Editor plugins (KDE bugzilla): + +http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=digikamimageplugins&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED + +* Showfoto (KDE bugzilla): + +http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=showfoto&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED + +* Kipi-plugins (KDE bugzilla): + +http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=kipiplugins&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED + +Extra Bugzilla servers for shared libs used by digiKam : + +* GPhoto2 library (sourceforge bugzilla): + +http://gphoto.org/bugs + +* Exiv2 library (robotbattle bugzilla): + +http://dev.robotbattle.com/bugs/main_page.php + + +-- DEPENDENCIES ------------------------------------------------------- + +AutoConf >= 2.5.x http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf +AutoMake >= 1.7.x http://www.gnu.org/software/automake +libqt >= 3.3.x http://www.qtsoftware.com +libkde >= 3.4.x (>=3.5.x recommended) http://www.kde.org +libgphoto2 >= 2.x.x (>=2.4.x recommended) http://www.gphoto.org +libkipi >= 0.1.5 (>=0.1.6 recommended) http://www.kipi-plugins.org +libkexiv2 >= 0.1.6 (>=0.1.7 recommended) http://www.kipi-plugins.org +libkdcraw >= 0.1.5 http://www.kipi-plugins.org +liblcms >= 1.14.x http://www.littlecms.com +libtiff >= 3.6.x (>=3.8.2 recommended) http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff +libpng >= 1.2.x http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html +libjasper >= 1.7.x http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasper +libsqlite3 >= 3.5.9 (optional) http://www.sqlite.org + +Note : all library dependencies require development and binary packages installed on your +computer to compile digiKam. + + +-- INSTALLATION -------------------------------------------------------- + +In the source directory do : + +1) export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 +2) export KDEDIR=KDE_installation_dir_on_your_system +3) if you are installing libkipi in a non-standard location + let pkg-config know about their paths: + export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/path/to/installation/lib/pkgconfig +4) make -f Makefile.cvs +5) ./configure +6) make +7) su +8) make install + +More specific compilation and installation options can be used with the 'configure' script. +Get more information with the './configure --help' command line. + +Note : use the '--enable-debug=full' option with the configure script to provide +all needed information in a bug report. + + +-- DONATE MONEY -------------------------------------------------------- + +If you love digiKam, you can help developpers to buy new photo devices to test +and implemente new features.
