Description S. Burmeister 2006-03-24 13:30:27 UTC

Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

There are a lot of cameras that save images in JPEG. Since this format is not lossless, it might be very useful for users, if they had the option to convert their images to a lossless format when importing them from the camera.

Yes, convertion on the fly is planed, supporting metadata... but later digikam 0.9.0 release.

SVN commit 575850 by cgilles:

digikam from trunk : Camera gui improvements : JPEG image files conversion on the fly during donwloading from digital camera. All Metadata (Exif/Makernote/Iptc) are preserved.

Nota : duing Exiv2 limitation of read-only capability with Tiff file, the only lossless file format supported actually is PNG. TIFF file format will be added later when Tiff write support will be added to Exiv2.
