[Digikam-users] New digiKam and digikamimageplugins beta

[Tom Albers]

The digiKam team is proud to provide a second beta of digiKam 0.8. This 
release followes one month after beta 1 and we now ask everyone to test this 
version so we can resolve the remaining bugs.

Please take a moment to test this version and report all your problems! It 
would be great if you could mail digikam-devel at kde.org the Konsole output of 
the first digiKam startup (no subscription needed to post this info) !

In comparisation to beta 1, we have fixed the following bugs:
- Crash on rogue jpeg file (bug 112801)
- Disable "remove tags" menu item when there are no common tags (111798)
- Added some more extensions we support
- A protocol error prevented correct drap-and-drop to other applications
- When a camera was added to the toolbar, the icon wasn't displayed after 
program restart
- A caching problem was visible when an image was saved with "Save As" with a 
filename that  already existed in the album.
- Fixed a crash when adding items to showfoto's toolbar
- Fixed some problems in showfoto with 'Save As'
- Fixed some thumbnail caching problems in ShowFoto (111873)
- Some more space was created to select images, which is helpfull when KDE is 
configured to single click is open (11695)
- Showfoto's handbook was not showing properly (99497)
- Size of the search window is now saved
- Better error handling when there is a permission problem when moving images
- A progress dialog was blocking an error dialog in some cases.
- Some optimalisation was done in the comments / tag editor.
- New color gradient for the histogram.
