[Digikam-devel] I'd like to help with 1 bugfix and 1 feature

[J. Michael Caine]

I've never yet contributed to digikam source.

I might be interested in helping with one bugfix and one feature; 
thought I'd start here to confirm that another is not already planning 
on adopting either.

Bugfix: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244258 (and 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267571 may be the same(?)).  I use 
Debian squeeze so have a slightly old version, but it appears that the 
bug-tracker indicates that it's still a problem upstream.

Feature: I'd like to be able to start a slideshow from the command-line, 
with a reasonable set of cli options, such as transitions (the OpenGL 
Ken Burns one is the one I'm interested in).  Additionally, I'll want a 
--display option, to specify :0.1 or whatever alternate display.  A 
--fullscreen kind of option, too, of course.  Finally, I'd like an 
option that results in the slide-show's picking up new images that are 
dumped into an album's directory.  This will be used to progressively, 
infinitely, and randomly show photos on a separate display as they 
populate a directory.

Does this sound reasonable, useful, valuable?  Would such updates be 
acceptable to the community?
