[Digikam-devel] Re Kipi interface needs addition was Re: [Bug 123125] Export selected pictures to flickr

[Vardhman Jain]

Hi,
The added functionality surely improves the way user can use Flickr export
as user can use his host application's functionality to select the photos he
wants to upload, but some additions would make it a perfect peice.

It would be great if some one can improve the Digikam, kipi interface to
allow use of Tags stored in Digikam database with photos to be used in
exporting to Flickr. Froms some comments on internet I understand that this
is the major feature which makes ppl use F-Spot, bcoz you can use the local
tags on image when exporting to flickr.

I am finding it hard to actually do the code/patch myself, B'coz its more of
learning the interfacing stuff which will take time, those who have actually
learnt the interface or worked on it can do it much more easily, faster and
in a better way.

My Idea on it is KIPI::ImageInfo can have some function called getTags()
which will return tags (String with space separated values or a string List)
if the host applications has set them otherwise it will return NULL or
something like that.

This change(addition) in the interface needs approval from the KIPI
developers (I don't know much about binary compatibility issue which was
last time discussed when I asked for some change in the KIPI File
Open/Choose Dialog).

I would look fwd for comments on the same. Probably some other changes in
the interface which were kept pending for long time can also be introduced
now.

BTW what is the Release period of the KIPI-plugins ? AFAIK the release cycle
is not in sync with Digikam or any other product and in fact the release
almost never happen. If we can ensure the release date matches with Release
of Digikam and Digikam Image plugins hopefully we will have a much more
scheduled update of Kipi-plugins. Again ur opinions are solicited.

regards,
Vardhman
