------- Additional Comments From Julien.Narboux inria fr  2005-08-31 09:41 -------
I agree with the comments by Gilles Schintgen, it would be very usefull if digikam always keep a copy of the original image (expect for lossless rotation).

Then we would get a "Undo all modifications" button.

It would be even better if digikam could save the sequence of modifications which have be made to the original picture. Digikam would keep the original picture, the fully modified picture and the sequence of modifications.

This way it is possible to have some undo feature without using too much disk space. To perfom some undo action Digikam would just replay some part of the sequence of modificatoins on the original image.

For instance if I

- import a picture img_001.raw
- crop to 800*600
- add border
- perform red eye correction
- translate to jpeg

Digikam would keep img_001.raw, and img_001_modifed.jpg and [crop(800,600);add_border(black_border 80);red_eye(some coordinates ...);translate_to_jpeg(quality 80)]

Now I could undo the last two modifications, to do that Digikam would replay the first two modifications on the original image.

We could also imagine that we can get a window displaying all the modifications which have been done, and we can reorder the modifications, delete some steps, etc ...

Digikam rocks !
