Hi, 

today I tried the latest snapshot, here are some results:

- - downloading and building the 4 packages worked like a charm on Gentoo, I 
created local ebuilds for these and they all downloaded, compiled and merged 
without any probelm whats-o-ever

- - starting KimDaBa worked like expected, I don't see any image or database 
corruption.

- - all the plugins really add value, this is great news for the next stable 
release!

- - Many tasks feel faster. I know there were some performance patches applied, 
in my opinion they do make quite a difference!


Some small suggestions (sorry, no debug-info yet for crashes, I'll try to 
recompile):

- - opening the "KameraKlient" twice crashes Kimdaba

- - Window sizes are not stored for some dialogs, especially the 
image-configure-dialog and the Calendar-plugin

- - I'm not sure where to post suggestions about plugins, but in the 
Calendar-plugin, the picture preview is too small and the three panes cannot 
be resized separatedely which prevents the user from making the preview 
larger.

- - In the Calendar-plugin when the list of pictures is displayed, a preview 
with thumbnails for the pictures instead of the names would be great. 
Otherwise the user needs to walk through all the image-names to find the one 
that he/she wants.

 - had one crash while draging a picture directly to a month in the 
Calendar-plugin, didn't compile with debug, though... The second time around 
it worked. I will try to compile debug to provide more info.

- - in CD/DVD archiving-dialog, please make the listbox with the checkboxes to 
resize in order to allow the user to enlarge the long list of albums by 
enlarging the dialog.

- - in CD/DVD archiving-dialog, show the number of pictures/size per album in 
order to allow to better choose which albums to exclude in order to fit the 
pictures on a CD

- - I had a problem adding an Album called "Südfrankreich" to an archive-CD, I 
got an error message during building the CD. The same for an album 
"Beaucaire/Provence", seems that special characters confuse the plugin.


For things that should be reported elsewhere for plugins, please point me in 
the right direction.

As always, many thanks for a great application that is just getting better and 
better!

Dominik.
