facebook now gives an optional "Download in High Resolution" link for new pictures.

Would be useful for the kipi plugins to fetch automatically the hi-res version when importing an album.

Reproducible: Didn't try

This can be done through Graph API.

Dirk,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?

If you're asking about the bug report, then yes, it's still valid in v2.9. Only downloading low-resolution copies of the images severely lowers the usefulness of this feature, sadly. :(

I assume the maintainers of kipi-plugins are aware of this, but for anyone else looking into it, full-resolution downloads are only available through the Facebook Graph API, and the image download functions in this plugin appear to make use of the legacy REST API.

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.
