[Digikam-devel] 0.9.1 release plan...

[Caulier Gilles]

Hi all,

TODO LIST --------------------------------------------------------

You can see below all tasks to do before to release 0.9.1-beta1 :

- Bug 127583: keywords, copyright, photographer info not saved to IPTC tags :

This file will be fixed after to have used MetadataHub class instead DMetadata 
everywhere. I have already identified all places in source code using "TODO 
MetadataHub:" string. There is 20 matches in source code to fix...

Marcel, i let's you manage this entry. You know better than me MetadataHub 
class... I recommend you to remove the MetadataHub instance in Comments & 
Tags implementation and use a global instance instead intialized in 
DigikamApp at startup (like AlbumSettings instance for example). After, just 
use this one everywhere...

- Some Album icon view menu actions need to be disable with Preview mode (for 
ex. Select all). It's in my TODO list.

- DImg::RawLoader have a bug with unsupported RAW file by dcraw version used 
by digiKam. The loader go to in eternal loop if there is no 
DImgLoaderObserver instance used. This bug can only reproduce with digiKam 
kio-slave. Image editor is not affected. 

Marcel, i have reported this problem to you by a private mail. This problem is 
important becise the thumbs process will be stopped definitivly in this case. 
I hope that you can fix it...
