kphotoalbum crashes when deleting files

Hello again,

kphotoalbum crashes when I try to delete files within kphotoalbum. I 
seem to remember this being a problem already earlier at some point but 
couldn't find the bug at bugs.kde.org. Can somebody tell me if this bug 
has been reported already and if I should rather open the old bug than 
create a new one?

Thanks,

Aleksi

kphotoalbum compile fails - VideoManager.cpp

Hello

I did 'git pull' just now and the compilation fails with the error at 
the end of the mail. I've done 'make clean' after the update. Can 
somebody tell me if I have outdated external libraries or is this a 
problem with kphotoalbum? I'm running ubuntu 10.04 with the latest updates.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Aleksi

Icon for indicating thumbnail is a video

Greetings.

In a recent check-in, I made it possible to make a screenshot during video 
playback for use as a thumbnail for the item.

For this to work out nicely, it would be great with some overlay on top of the 
thumbnail to indicate the item is a movie.

Can anyone provide me with such an overlay?¨

Cheers
Jesper.

Having trouble finding a given image in your collection containing

Annotating stacks

Hello,

we've been working with Johannes to allow annotating of whole stacks
(in practice Johannes has been coding and I have been trying to make
him code some more ;) Now is time to get some more input on the
feature.

- On thumbnail view you can annotate the whole stack by selecting it
and hitting annotate multiple items
- Most other features should use the stack head, if a selection is
made in thumbnail view - however, if there is no selection all images
including the ones in collapsed stacks are used
  - e.g. when generating HTML pages or uploading to some web service
using KIPI plugins, the stack head is used if images are selected in
thumbnail view
  - if there is no selection or if stacks within selection are
expanded the full selection is used

Does this kind of change work for you? Are there any changes or
special cases that should be taken into account?

I have attached patches for this change for you to give it a try..

Removing SQL backend from KPA

Greetings, fellow KPhotoAlbumers.

Many, many years ago I attempted at making an alternative backend to the
XML based one we have which used SQL. I failed.

Following that, Tuomas made a heroic attempt at the same with similar luck.

Finally, during the KPA developer sprint Tuomas, Jan, Henner and I tried,
and...well you guessed it, failed.

Now it has been a few years since the last attempt, and it doesn't seem
like anyone is brave enough to give it yet another go.

Each attempt brought with it a price for the remaining codebase. An example
of this is the DB::Id that was introduced most recently, which introduced
yet another level of indirection when trying to get your hands on the info
about the files.

In an attempt to make KPA easier to maintain in the future, I'd like to
throw away the SQL backend and as a result simplify the codebase all over.

Any objections? (Any such objections should really come with a "Yes I will
take upon me to finish the SQL backend" please).

Cheers
Jesper.

image search question

	Hi all!

    I have a question regarding the use of the image search function. I tagged 
a bunch of images, including those from the stays at two different hotels, say 
"hotel A" and "hotel B". Both of them had a pool, so I added "pool" as a 
subcategory of both. Now if I want to see all photos taken at a hotel pool, I 
simply search for "pool" and get all pool photos from hotel A and hotel B. But 
when I search for the tag "hotel A" (to see all photos taken at hotel A), I 
get all photos taken at hotel A *and* all photos taken at the pool of hotel B. 
I think this is because "pool" is a subcategory of "hotel A" and therefore 
automatically included in the query, but then also matches images which don't 
have the "hotel A" tag. This behaviour seems to be a bug to me, but maybe I 
misunderstood how image queries should be formulated, so could somebody please 
explain how (in the above example) I should write a query to
*) search for all photos from hotel A,
*) search for all photos from the pool of hotel A,
or should I tag the images differently to perform such queries?

	Thanks & kind regards,
		Markus

raw, jpg, duplicates in index.xml

Hello!

Lately I was looking at my index.xml more closely as now several users 
will use it and I noticed that when there are raw and jpg files available 
it's kind of random which is stored in the index.xml.  Sometimes, but not 
always, both are stored.  I even remember that I had to blacklist one 
kind, once, to remove duplicates from display.

Which way should it be?  I've searched but found no documentation of it 
and as I already wrote python code for analysis I might fix the file in 
the same run, too.

Bye,
    Vitus

KPA4.2 build fail for Ubuntu Lucid and Oneiric

Just relaying the message from Dominik, who packaged KPA4.2 for Ubuntu..
Does anyone have a clue why does the build fail / what's wrong with
the index.docbook and can it be fixed in the source?
He was able to bypass the fail with the patch attached.
