[Kde-imaging] libkipi version 2

[Gilles Caulier]

Who will read/use exoctic image format to store photograph ?

Exotic format are... exotic... We are not time to lost with exotic task
(:=)))... There are  a lots of bug to fix before in B.K.O.

Main image file format used by Linux users are :

1- JPEG (53%)
2- RAW (17%)
4-PNG (11%)
3-TIFF (2%)

We have already an ImageMagick run time depency in kipi and Qt plugin
loaders set in KDE are enough. About RAW file my new libkdcaw work fine.

I'm agree with you, imlib2 depency to Slideshow is now obsolete. imlib2 is
not maintained anymore and is not portable (to win32 for ex.)

Regards

Gilles
