Description unsecure 2015-08-16 15:20:30 UTC
It would be nice if it where possible to modify/remove some existing keywords before uploading images to flickr.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Shourya Singh Gupta 2015-08-17 03:25:45 UTC
Sure, I will have a look at this :)
Comment 2 unsecure 2015-08-17 11:01:21 UTC
thanks so much! I'm not shure if a possibility for modifying keywords is necessary. But it would be important that existing keywords can removed in a fast, simple way before upload. It would be fine if this only touch the upload and the image on harddisk is unchanged.

What's your opinion about this? Possible to realise in next time?

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.
