           Summary: COMMENT: (much) more Pros than Contras !!!  :-) :-)
                    :-) ...
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: axel.krebs at t-online.de


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.6) 
OS:                Linux

Version 2.0.0-beta4
Unter KDE 4.6.1 (4.6.1)


Gilles:

DK beta is an absolutely huge step forward! Congratulations!!

- Installing from
<http://scribblesandsnaps.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/install-the-latest-beta-of-digikam-on-ubuntu-10-10/>
works fine.


NEGATIVES: Booting time quadrupels now under a quad-core Athlon II X 4 640-
very bad... KDE?

Need for backported KDE-components forces many useless and potentialls harming
instances for a stable system. Why is DK still referring on KDE??? For Gods
sake we should not walk on swampy ground any more!!! 

Under Windows, it does not KDE tooo, or?


POSITIVES:
- Many jobs running faster, super!

- Versioning is wonderful. I am so happy!!!

- Inverse geolocation does run stable- first time geotagging is usable

- Albumview(?) thumbs-window does not refresh (adapt to changing thumb sizes)

- Batches: if "waiting queus-configs" are _not_ explicitely modified or set, DK
crashes!!

- Filter-Option is wonderful; maybe it will be modified to set own
filter-settings (when fotographing with large format cameras, I had about 20
filters)

- Lens correction is still humbling, sometimes it works, sometimes it finds
wrong lenses (would you considers my suggestion of predefined
pre-setting-profiles?)). It can not correct panorama, while this should be a
minor correction: just read out metadata from single pics using for the
panorama!!)

- Now I feel the need to use a larger screen- overwhelming functions, somewhat
worse overview.

- Batch suggestion block certain manipulation sequences, as signature then
sizing or sharpening and then sizing. Many operation sequences are (sorry)
stupid (compare to workflow descriptions). 

If I can support you- let me know!
