[Digikam-users] Re: Installing Digikam on a Mac

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

We need a software to manage a database of photos for a scientific
association. It'll be used by volunteers who will work for the association
for one or two months, none of them being a developer. About 10 to 12
different computers will be used, some Mac, others PC (I think I'll be the
only one working with Linux).

I suggested Digikam as I know it works on the 3 platforms. It has also the
advantage of the Piwigo-export that'll be very handy to upload the photos
into the online gallery.

But if Digikam is too complicate to install for non-developers who will be
working with it for a couple of months only, we may use any other software
on the "front-office" computers, to sort, tag and rename the photos; before
loading them in the "database" computer. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't
matter whether one photo has been tagged by one program or another, as long
as the tags are actually written in the file metadata, and the program used
by the "main" computer can retrieve them.
But it could be trikier for the management team to manage volunteers who
won't use the same program ...
