Description Colin Guthrie 2007-04-09 00:24:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

This is a tracking bug for the new Sync Plugin

This plugin will provide a general interface for Synchronising the images in Kipi Host applications to other systems

It will implement a generic framework for defining "Sinks" (where the Kipi Host application is the "Source"). It is a design goal that new Sinks are relatively easy to implement.

Some additional features are required in the Kipi API to make this work and some additional features are needed in Kipi Host applications (reflected in the API changes) e.g. the ability to store key/value preferences for kipi plugins against collections and individual images/items. 

It is planned that this plugin will eventually include Sinks to deprecate the following existing plugins:
 * galleryexport
 * flickrexport
 * ipodexport

It is also intended to implement Sinks for the following services:
 * picassaweb
 * Generic KIO
 * Wikipedia Commons Interface
 * ???

It is intended that Sinks in some capacity will mimic a subset of the KIPI API. This design principle could eventually mean that a bridging application will allow use of some Kipi Plugins directly on images stored in a Sink target - e.g. it should be possible to run a slideshow on your Flickr images.

Comment 5 Gerhard Kulzer 2007-04-18 20:05:07 UTC

If 'sync' includes update of photos on gallery for example, that's a really good idea. I'm in need of this feature all the time. 

Momentarily I use webdav to update with gallery2.2, but the results are not good. Sometimes the update is OK, more often the new file replaces the old one, but is recognized as a binary bitstream instead of an image.

Comment 6 Colin Guthrie 2007-04-18 20:25:44 UTC

Yes Gerhard. This is exactly the kind of thing I want to achieve, for presumably the same reasons ;)

I've added you to CC but feel free to remove yourself.

Comment 7 Stefan Grosse 2007-06-08 12:53:11 UTC

It would be nice to have for flickr the feature to assign the pictures to a set while uploading.

I would really like to see the picasaweb API implemented for use with digikam.

Comment 10 Colin Guthrie 2007-09-05 22:58:19 UTC

Comments from Fabrice Facorat left originally on Bug 138838:

Just a remark.

I noticed that Gnome will use its syncing framework ( Conduit ) to synchronized Photos with remote site. This way, every application using Conduit can sync photo to remote sites ( picasaweb web ). So potentially you could do it directly from your palm/etc ...

So maybe KDE should take the same route and add theses syncing functionnality in its framework ( synce ? ), and digikam ( and others apps ) will just use it. Imagine we could do 2 way sync directly from Dolphin ...

Comment 11 Bartosz Radaczyński 2008-01-15 21:28:48 UTC

Is there any chance that this will be implemented in the near future? The competition (f-spot) supposedly has this export already... It would e a shame if people having picasa accounts would have to switch over to f-spot or picasa.

Comment 12 Colin Guthrie 2008-01-15 21:52:57 UTC

I've not had anything like the kind of time I'd have liked to concentrate on this unfortunately :(

There is a separate Picasaweb export plugin available in the meantime tho'.
