Description kdebr 2004-12-14 01:06:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I love digikam but I want to publish my galleries online for others to see.

What I've been doing so far is to export them as HTML, then I've got a little rsync script that uploads them to my website.  This works great because it only uploads my newest additions or modifications so it is very fast.

The problem is that whenever I export from digikam it exports and scales each image every single time.  When I started this was 10-30 seconds, but now it is taking several minutes and only getting worse.  I don't have too many images either, maybe 10 folders and 8-15 images each...but it is a lot of computation and you can see how this scales.

So does anyone have any advice for me?  What do you do?

If I could suggest a possible solution for digikam it would be to look into the export directory and see what hasn't changed and only update new or modified entries.  You might have to start adding meta data to track this and make it easier, so I understand that kind of conflicts with the idea of a pure static export.  Maybe there is a comprimise or you can think of a better idea.

Thanks.

This bug is reported against 'imagesgallery'. This plugin has been replaced by a new plugin called 'HTMLExport', which is written completely from scratch. This bug report will now be closed.
