I just found the digikam-users mailing list.<br><br>Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to make sure I'm getting mail.<br><br>I just started using digikam though I've been reading about it for<br>quite some time.
<br><br>I'm using 9.2 on Ubuntu though I may soon figure out how to run more<br>recent versions.<br><br>I have to say, I'm very impressed so far. My compliments to the developers.<br><br>The only major bug I've found so far is a dependency on Konqueror when
<br>using the "export to flickr" feature. Specifically when you select<br>export to flickr it looks for the service "kfmclient".<br><br>I correctly deduced this was Konqueror because Digikam is a KDE<br>
project and indeed after installing Konqueror I was able to properly<br>authorize and use Digikam's export to flickr feature.<br><br>Right now I'm having a hard time geo tagging my photos. I'm hoping<br>someone may provide me some feedback on how to get this working.
<br><br>I've found the GPS tab... but it appears that all the options are<br>greyed out. I know I've seen some screen snaps on the digikam website<br>showing this feature working, so I assume that you can plot a GPS
<br>point for a photo even if there was none in the EXIF info from the<br>camera (most camera's still don't do GPS of course).<br><br>So far I'm very pleased. I have not used iPhoto since version 6, and<br>I hear it has some newer features, but hands down from what I've seen
<br>DigiKam blows iPhoto away. I just hope I can figure out how to get it<br>installed on my Macbook sometime soon. Right now I'm using it on<br>Ubuntu.<br><br>Again, my compliments to the chef.<br><br>I'm amazed at how highly developed the editing, batch processing, and
<br>other features are. Eat my shorts iPhoto. :)<br><br> I look forward to chatting with others in the Digikam community.<br><br>-Mike<br><a href="http://mmeiser.com/blog" target="_blank">mmeiser.com/blog</a><br>_______________________________________________

Yes, you can add GPS information to an image that doesn not have a GPS builtin. If you have data from a GPS you will need to convert it to the GPX format. GPSbabel is an excellent tool for this.
