Information about the database schema


Hello,

This is my first email to the list.

Where could I find information of the Digikam database schema? It looks like the link that appears in
http://www.digikam.org/docs is broken. Is it possible to report this broken link somewhere?

Best regards,
Jose

refocus sharpening in 3.2.0

Hi,

I just downloaded Digikam 3.2.0 for OpenSuse 12.3, and it looks like the 
refocus sharpening has been disabled/removed: I can still select the option
in the 'sharpen' sidebar, but I keep the same controls as for unsharp mask, 
and a "try" seems to start the process, except that there's no progress (I 
have to hit abort to stop it). 

Is anyone else seeing this? (so I know whether to post a bug report 
on Suse or Digikam/KDE)

regards,

Remco

MySQL SSL encryption

I would like to connect to MySQL database with encryption from within  
Digikam. There is a "database connection options" field that probably  
is the solution if I can get help how to use it.

How can I make Digikam establish encrypted connection with a MySQL database?
Am using Digikam 3.1.0 and Kubuntu 13.04. Server is using MySQL 5.5.31.

Command prompt:
"mysql -h media.mydomain.com -u digikam -p --ssl-ca=/tmp/ca-cert.pem  
--ssl-cert=/tmp/client-cert.pem --ssl-key=/tmp/client-key.pem" works.  
Adding these options under [client] section in my.cnf also makes it  
work without specifying ssl options on the command line.

Workflow details not saving

I created a workflow that takes CR2 files and processes them through a BCG correction, Sharpen, Resize, and Convert to JPEG.  The workflow works great while I'm using it and I can save it and load the settings from it and they're all retained.

However, once I close digiKam and reopen it later, while the assigned tools are correct their values were not retained.  Brightness is +100, contrast is 0, Gamma is 1.00. Sharpen is Radius 1.00, Amount 1.00, Threshold 1.00 (the highest possible) though it has retained the Unsharp mask option.  Resize is set to 10px.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Some setting I'm not using correctly or files that don't have the right permissions?

I'm using 3.1.0 KDE 4.10.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 attaching to a MySQL database.

Auto aspect crop tool

Is there a way to define a base minimum & maximum crop area for a photo and then in batch processing autocrop to a particular aspect ratio?

That is to say, I know I want a certain box to be in any final image, and I know I don't want to crop beyond a certain point, but I don't want to decide which aspect ratio (1:1, 4:6, 8:10, etc) I'm running the workflow for until I'm ready to publish the photo, and I don't want to downsample resolutions if downsampling is necessary for the target until after the crop is performed.  And I might want to come back later and run it for a different aspect ratio if I need a new print size.  For example, I publish it to facebook at 1:1, print some snapshots at 4:6, and then my parents want my kid's photo in an 8:10.

If this isn't out there, is this something I should implement?

Digicam downloading image twice when folder name changes

Hello!

I hope I am doing this correctly, by writing to the list. I have tried 
to find an answer to my problem prior to writing.
I use Digikam to download images from my camera's memory card to a 
folder, that Digikam creates. I have configured it so that the name of 
the folder is the same date as the pictures were taken.
I then want to add a short descriptive text to the folder's name. 
Digikam makes, for example, a folder called 2013_05_10 and I want to 
rename it 2013_05_10_peters_bday

Then, the next time I insert my memory card and want to download new 
photos, Digikam tries to download the older photos on the card as well. 
Again! I do not empty the card until I have burned the photos on DVD and 
transferred to a second hard drive.

So: If I change the file name of the folder that the pictures are stored 
in, Digikam cannot know that they already are downloaded.
Is this a bug? Can this be changed?

In my Windows days, I used a software from Canon and it knew if a photo 
had been transferred to the hard drive even if I moved the folder to 
another location on the disc.
I would very much like to have this solved, as I want to be able to 
re-name the folders.

All the best

Export to Facebook doesn't work any longer

The URL given by FB when I try to export from Digikam is always the same:
https://www.facebook.com/connect/blank.html#_=_
and the export doesn't work with it.

I'm using both Digikam end KIPI plugins in 3.1.0 version under Fedora 17. Any idea where the issue comes from?

Thanks ,
Marie-Noëlle

how do you select images for slide show?

Dear All

after having tinkered around with a number of photo management packages
I have now installed digikam sitting on top of my developed JPG (after
they have gone through tagging and devloping in darktable).
digikam very nicely picks up the EXIF data when importing these JPGs so
that they can be nicely used for searchint etc.

Now I would like to create a number of slideshows for varying purposes,
like Vietnam-10min or/and Vietnam-30min so that I can mayby copy the
corresponding files to a memory stick for a slideshow presentation.

A simple and - as I find - logical way would be to create a list of
those filenames that I have selected in digikam and have them linked to
the original files. Sounds simple enough. In principle this would be a
sort of 'playlist'.

Unfortunately, I have not found anything of this sort. So how do you
people put a number of slides together for repeated use? making multiple
copies just does not seem wise.

Can the batch queue system help here? At least the CNTR B seems to
collect the file names.

I cannot really believe that I am the only person who does slide shows.

thanx in advance
