Description Philippe ROUBACH 2007-07-16 15:49:50 UTC
Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-14mdv

a feature to add a prefered "more info" map request or to modify the existing "more info" map requests

why ?

because i have prefered map server
because sommetime the default request is obsolete because site changed the request syntax

this feature exists in kaddressbook. This is handy

thank you

The last used engine becomes automatically the default, the setting is saved. 
Isn't that enough?

in reply to #1 i did not well explain my wish

1. first wish : ability to add a map server request to a map server not in the list

2. second wish : ability to fix the syntax of a request if the syntax is not good

for example with kaddressbook there is a functionality to get a map of an address. The syntax of the request were false(too old) and we wait about 1 years to have a fix. I did not wait 1 years because in kaddressbook i have he ability to fix the syntax by a dialog.

A typical piece of code in
graphics/digikam/libs/widgets/metadata/gpswidget.cpp
looks like this:

        case GoogleMaps:
        {
            url.append("http://maps.google.com/?q=");
            url.append(val.setNum(d->map->getLatitude(), 'g', 12));
            url.append(",");
            url.append(val.setNum(d->map->getLongitude(), 'g', 12));
            url.append("&spn=0.05,0.05&t=h&om=1&hl=en");
            break;
        }

Feel free to add a patch for your engine here, then everyone will profit from 
it.

Gilles, this bug is not related to the GPSSync kipi-plugin but to the GPS panel you have in digiKam (see above, digikam/libs/widgets/metadata/gpswidget.cpp).

Michael,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?

I think this is a good junior job.

Basic steps:
1. Define a format to save these services in. Something like a string with %LON %LAT %ALT etc. in it.
2. Convert the existing online services to the new format.
3. Implement a system that will load these strings from the digikam settings and display them in the geolocation widget.
4. Implement a check whether any online services have been defined, if not, add the default list created in point 2.
5. Create a sub-dialog for example in the settings of digikam to edit a list of these strings and their respective titles.
6. Add a way to the settings dialog to export a list of these services to easily move them to a different computer.
7. Add support for KHotStuff or whatever it is called these days, to allow for users to upload these strings somewhere and update them independent of the digikam code.

Happy coding ;-)
