[Digikam-users] Plugin development: any tutorials?

[Andi Clemens]

Well one way to read digikam tags is to query the database. There are a lot of 
ways to do this in python.

In digiKam 0.11 the Batch Queue Manager could be used to create two copies of 
your images.
A custom command can be used (at least it is planned) so you could also add 
some ftp command to the batch queue.

I think a kipi-plugin would be overkill, but if you want to do so:
Just copy an existing plugin into a new folder, change it to fit your needs 
and finally copy this plugin into your system folder (make && make install).

We don't have a tutorial for this, but actually it is really simple if you 
know C++.
