kde is not my favorite desktop environment. I prefer gnome. but
that´s only a matter of taste.<br>
I thought there was an effort a while ago to port digikam to
quicktime to make it independent from kde, which makes it dependent
of quicktime.<br>
I think it would be great if there came a fork of digikam that
takes the grandiose, excellent, wonderful, splendid, magnificent,
special, unique, exquisite, exclusive, unparalleled digikam
architecture as a fundament and build it up from the ground without
all the needless complexities that makes it so prone to trouble.<br>

Actually most of *these* problems occur because people try to run digikam with
libraries that do not ship with the installed Linux distribution, or try to
combine different sets of incompatible libraries. Seriously, if you want to be
bleeding edge, either compile yourself (not too complicated), or use a
bleeding edge distribution. :)

Probably impossible. The integration is pretty deep, and digikam uses a lot of
KDE features. Then, of course, just because you're too lazy :o) to install
kdelibs, that's not really a reason for the rest of us to lose the tight
integration into our favourite desktop environment...
Cheers,
