KDE 4: the good, the bad and the broken

[Draciron Smith]

I can make feature requests on this list?

http://gthumb.sourceforge.net

Gthumb is the official name.  I think it used to be Gphoto. Anyway the
features it contains that I don't find in any KDE image viewer which I
personally find essential are.

An extensive history that allows me with a couple clicks move 1 or
many files to various dirs. I can add a screen shot if that helps. It
is similar in ideas to the file manager feature suggestion that was
linked to in this thread.

Duplicate file finder based not on filename but on detecting duplicate
images of the same name. This feature works extremely well and finds
every duplicate I have of the same resolution. If I've scaled the
image down that's not counted as a duplicate. The duplicate search
then allows me to selectively delete duplicates giving you an option,
to copy, rename, delete etc.

It DOESN"T try to force albumns on me.

I can import images directly from a camera which is a nice feature. Do
minor edits on them as well. If I'm doing anything fancy I'll use
Gimp.

Rename images in series. This is especially handy pulling photos off a
camera or photo CD but unlike Krename I can selectively grab specific
files rather than a regexp file name search and replace.

This is a list of the features. Many are common to any image viewer
and some are helpful for most people but not things I personally do
much.

I don't have Gwenview installed. Not even sure what the default KDE
photo Whatever it is the critter is seriously deficient.
