And I want the "opposite" ;-), i.e. the possibility to edit the digikam albums online - tagging, geolocating, organizing, etc. This would make digikam an even more murderous platform. (Dmitriy, perhaps this is what you intended, but I just misunderstood...) It could perhaps be implemented in a side project as a web application interfacing the digikam database. This feature is wanted more than ever! It is for sure too much work to start from scratch, but a (upload only) synchronization to a popular platform such as Flickr/Google/SmugMug etc... should be feasable in a reasonable amount of time. What's missing from the current KIPI Web Export plugins - Automatization: upload in the background on image/metadata changes - Automatically mirror the folder structure of Digikam online - Ability to choose which files are automatically synchronized (e.g introduce a Publish flag as proposed 13 years ago, or having a minimal amount of stars) WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able to export a workflow on a web-service. All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to deal with export tools through libkipi. All export tools are now located here : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the application : - digiKam (database) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h - Showfoto (files metadata) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto. We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete: https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with another external application. API will still private and only shared between Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to maintain/extend in time. Gilles Caulier |
