Description Axel Franke 2007-10-11 22:44:25 UTC

Version:           0.1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be great to be able to use the Flickr upload plugin also for sending pictures to
Ipernity (www.ipernity.com) and maybe other online photo communities. So far, I still use Flickr as "man in
the middle" to upload pictures to Ipernity, because an export from digikam keeps tags intact.
Considering jUploadr, it looks to me as if the APIs for flickr and ipernity are not so different?

ipernity seems to be the most popular refuge for people who either don't like the new flickr l&f or whose broadband isn't fast enough for the what the new l&f demands.

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.
