Hi Alan,

the tip to Philips updats was very well. There is a good explanation even I understand (just an engineer). Now it works well and stabile.
Perfect. Thanks!

Phillip Johnsson has packged the latest versions of digikam and exiv2 on his PPA.

There have been tons of fixes and updates since the versions packaged in Ubuntu.

Cheers!

Hi,

Filmstrip vertically?
I've missed this feature. How is it activated?

It defaults to being horizontal at the top. But you can detach it/drag it by grabbing the "double lines" at one end using the mouse, to make it "free floating", and then reposition it where you want it in the interface. It's a bit tricky to describe and fiddly to get it to "grab" 
back into the place you want, but it does work.

Still, write Metadata into file crash both Digikam and ubuntu.

Thanks for a great program.
I organize some pictures - around 600 right now.

A) Is there a significant difference between OpenSuse and Ubuntu in using Digikam?
On OpenSuse I work with about 36.600 pictures without bigger problems.
On Ubuntu I have problems with 600 pictures.

B) Ubuntu: After some changes in Tagging faces, the program starts "applying changes" and can run hours for that - if it's not crashes. Is that an Exiv2 related problem? Can I use the latest version 0.25 or shall I stick to an older version?

C) I have chosen to save the face tags to file. How can this tags be made visible in other picture viewer or graphical programs?

Best regards
Hans-Christoph Paul

There was a bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323888
which caused a crash when you made any change to face tags.  That is now fixed but which version are you running?

Face tag info is stored in MetaData, stored as keywords and also within the exif it has co-ordinates for each face 'box'.  I guess it depends which other package you use to view and what capabilities it has.

Cheers
Mick

Hi Elle,

this feature (scroll current item in the thumbbar to center) was desired by some users. We will make this feature in the next relase of digiKam (4.14.0) in the settings configurable.

I did it! Great. Thank you.

I wonder why it is not selectable in digikam's settings?

On my openSUSE I had the problem that one of the databases was damaged. 
I solved it by deleting all digikam related databases (I write all my changes to the picture itself) and than run the "tools" again to fill up databases with fresh data.
This should work also with sidecar storing.

Dear all,
using digikam 4.2.0 what is the best way to split a grown album into a few subalbums without loosing tag and metadata? I don't find any automated tool in the program/manual to do such a split, and I'm not sure if moving physically files will prevent metadata loss.
Suggestions?

Thanks,
Luca
