How to change splash screen in digiKam AppImage?

[Gilles Caulier]

Yes,

The bundle can be now compiled quickly, to press a simple button (one
script to start).

The compilation to update one bundle take around 45mns, with uploading to
GDrive.

I spend personalty few months to optimize and finalize all bash script to
build bundles. It start to be very powerful, to track / kill bugs, and to
test / promote new features with pre-release.

The KDE dependencies reduction increase a lots the stability, especially on
non Linux system. I sure that it's the way to continue. It still 15/20% of
core dependencies, and i will continue to drop all the possible. The goal :
be able to provide a pure Qt5 application. The 'K' in digiKam will be a
simple legacy in the future.

We have 2 new motivated contributors : Simon who is interested to improve
Group features, and Mario who have already improved Similarity search. This
last one start to hack Face Management.

I have been contacted by 2 students for this summer : one to rewrite face
recognition algorithm, another one to work on UPNP/DLNA database export.

Perhaps a 3rd one will work on database core, it's not yet sure...
