[Digikam-users] F-Spot --> Digikam

[Charlier, Etienne]

Hello, 
 
I think that a kind of api available to scripts writers ( perl/python,...) would be a very usefull addition to digikam
 
- api to add images/tags, rating,;
- api to query references to images according to tags,....
- all of that outside of actual c++ digikam code but released part of digikam
 
- That would open up a lot of possibilities ( web galerie generation, import/export from other DAM,.....)
- That also would prevent "wild access" to the digikam database 
 
Just my 0.02€
 
Etienne

Totally agree with Fabien. A generic script can be done to backport DB from others photo management program to digiKam DB.
 
There is not only F-Spot and digiKam witch use SQlite database. Look like Apple Aperture use it !

	Me too :)
	
	What could be great is to have something more generic :
	any to digikam
	with some standard input to add tags/comments/rates, etc.
	(eg a csv file), so that it could be easier to implement a 
	newapp2digikam utility.
	
	But, maybe something could be done with dcop ?
