Try again using digiKam 1.2.0 Gilles Caulier I would love to, but it's not there for Windows yet....as I'm sure you know. Related to this is my wondering why digiKam MUST run on Windows KDE. I think that's where a lot of the issues I'm experiencing are coming from. Windows KDE also installs, without option, about two dozen KDE programs that have nothing to do with digiKam and that I will never, ever use. The GIMP and XnView, to name two programs I'm familiar with, don't require KDE. Please? FYI, THANK YOU (and the other contributors) for digiKam! Despite lots of early head banging problems with the scan, I saw through that to the potential. And it then "made me" spend untold hours trying to do something with Linux to look at the native environment. I tried Ubuntu Wibu, Ubuntu in Virtual Box, Knoppix off of CD. I bought an 8GB thumb drive and installed Knoppix to it which allowed me to save all settings - and install/run digiKam. digiKam = Adobe Lightroom at a savings of $299! The TIFF format offers a choice of different options to store and format the file. Not all of them are currently implemented in digikam. Additionally, while libtiff provides support to load all these formats as 8bit, digikam wants to open a 16bit image as 16bit, which means we cannot use the libtiff convenience code, and there are a few flavors of TIFF not supported (while other application just open them, based on 8bit) I can't speak to TIFF options, but none are compressed. The ones in the "48 bit" folder were scans of color negative film and have a file size of 178mb. If my scanner has TIFF options, I did not elect any. Others, quite old, were made in camera. The above mentioned folder that crashes digiKam on Windows has NO problem within Linux. In fact, digiKam is two different beasts depending on the OS. Fast, reliable, fast to scan even from scratch in Linux. (45,000 images) Many problems in Windows, including inability to scan a particular folder (it took me awhile to notice the pattern) which in Linux does just fine. Frequently, after manipulating an image on the Windows version, it crashes when I elect to save it. Gotta get this wonderful program off of that KDE for windows. Ok, then you are most likely experiencing problems due to the state of KDE and digikam on Windows. Personally, I'm not a Windows developer. Is there any problem that can be reproduced on Linux? I've not spent much time on digiKam on Linux yet, but it indeed is a very different animal, all to the better. I, too, had concluded that apparently the issues are due to the KDE in Windows. All the more reason to divorce this wonderful program and let it run in Windows w/o KDE. Are you familiar with XnView? Apparently also by a Francophone! It's great in Windows and is also available in Linux, but not the Debian package. For me, it displaced Irfanview as my preferred photo program. Now, it's a battle between XnView and DigiKam. The winner is decided by what I'm trying to do. Paul, Your digiKam version under windows is pretty old. I personnaly fixed some issue under Windows. I recommend to test with current implementation from svn (1.5.0) Gilles Caulier digiKam 1.6.0 is out: http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/550 Please update and check if this entry still valid. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier Paul, Can you please test with digikam 1.7.0 if these bugs are still there ? There is a windows installer available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam/1.7.0/digiKam-installer-1.7-win32.exe/download Your feedback is very appraciated because most developpers only use the linux version... Julien digiKam 2.0.0 RC is out for windows. Please try this version and give us feedback Gilles Caulier New digiKam 4.11.0 is available. https://www.digikam.org/node/740 Can you reproduce the problem with this release ? Gilles Caulier digiKam 4.11.0 Windows installer is available for download : http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digiKam-installer-4.11.0-win32.exe.mirrorlist With next digiKam 5.0.0, we will provide a fully cross-compiled version Windows under Linux where a lots of problems have been fixed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/27033685570/in/dateposted-public/ The Windows installer is available here to test : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7yq-xFihT0_SzhxVzF1RDhPbFE Gilles Caulier |
