[Digikam-users] Some considerations concerning running digiKam on a Mac

[Gilles Caulier]

In my case, as i'm macbook pro user, digiKam is installed through Macports.

Since recent OSX update, i see Qt/KDE widget completly broken. I don't
know why. I susupect that widget style used by KDE have not been
tested under mac. In the past, this problem doesn't exist.

This comfort me in the idea to have a digiKam fully non dependant of
KDE (using optional compilation rules). This will help a lots to
support non Linux OS.

Pure Qt applications as VLC, VirtualBox GUI, Clementine, etc, work
very well under Linux.

So, this goal is already in the way through Qt5 digiKam port. 60% of
KDE dependencies are removed. It sill hard dependencies yet. This can
take a while to make it a s optional.

Even pictures from an older 6 megapixel camera have a resolution you cannot display 1:1 on a normal full HD display, and modern cameras have 12, 14, 20 or more megapixel. With the iMac 5K I am, for the first time ever, able to view my photos in their full native resolution, and this is what I have been waiting for for years. And also, I am now able to use the possibilities of digiKam better than ever before.
