|    I've been staying with a customer for month now and lives/work in a
|    cubicle landscape - rather different from working from home which
|    I'm used to.
|
|    After approx one and a half month I got to talk about digital
|    images with one of my inmates, and I told him about KimDaBa. First,
|    that is rather extraordinary that I manage to work almost two month
|    with a guy without having told him anything about KimDaBa :-) What
|    is much more extraordinary is that he previously worked with Bibble
|    Labs, and is close friends with the owner. Bibble is an image
|    processing application that works on Linux. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
|
|    Well a new camera has been on my wishlist for a long time, but this
|    opportunity was just too great, so I bought myself a new camera,
|    and will try to see how KimDaBa can work together with Bibble.
|
|    The camera is a Canon Rebel XT and comes with a EFS 18-55
|    lense. With it I bought a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II camera lense, and a
|    Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III telephoto zoom lens.
|
|    So finally, everyone of you who have hoped for KimDaBa to be better
|    with RAW files, stay tuned, now I've got a camera spitting them
|    out, so it won't take long before KimDaBa does something with them.
|
| It would be desirable for it to work with dcraw or a variant also,
| since Bibble is proprietary software.
Ahhh an MIT guy, infected with the RMS virus :-)
There already is a dcraw plugin for KIPI, and some other random code for 
reading raw files in KimDaBa HEAD.

KimDaBa is an image database, not an image manipulation application, so I'm 
delegating those tasks to other applications. I'd be happy to work together 
with any open source application that can do this. To my knowledge there 
however, isn't any real user friendly ones for linux.

Cheers
Jesper.
