I've never yet contributed to digikam source.<br>
<br>
I might be interested in helping with one bugfix and one feature;
thought I'd start here to confirm that another is not already planning
on adopting either.<br>
<br>
Bugfix:
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244258" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244258</a>
(and <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267571" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267571</a> may be the same(?)).
I use Debian squeeze so have a slightly old version, but it appears
that the bug-tracker indicates that it's still a problem upstream.<br>
<br>
Feature: I'd like to be able to start a slideshow from the
command-line, with a reasonable set of cli options, such as transitions
(the OpenGL Ken Burns one is the one I'm interested in). Additionally,
I'll want a --display option, to specify :0.1 or whatever alternate
display. A --fullscreen kind of option, too, of course. Finally, I'd
like an option that results in the slide-show's picking up new images
that are dumped into an album's directory. This will be used to
progressively, infinitely, and randomly show photos on a separate
display as they populate a directory.<br>
<br>
Does this sound reasonable, useful, valuable? Would such updates be
acceptable to the community?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes, it fine if bugs are fixed by priority (:=)))</div><div><br></div><div>To create a stand alone version of the plugin, look how i do with DNG converter or ExpoBlending tools. Kipiinterface is null, so pointer must be checked everywhere and rules written accordingly in code.</div>
