| https://edge.launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ppa
| 
| Here are some first experiences:
| 
| foo: LZWDecode: Bogus encoding, loop in the code table; scanline 882.
| foo: LZWDecode: Not enough data at scanline 882 (short 68 bytes).
| KCrash: Application 'kphotoalbum' crashing...
| sock_file=/home/rhk/.kde/socket-rubert/kdeinit4__0
| QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 9 and type 'Read', disabling...
| kphotoalbum: Fatal IO error: client killed
| Unable to start Dr. Konqi
| 
| but that was a onetimer, now it seems to work ok :)
| 
| crashed again, killing yakuake along with kpa..
| -> no report :/
| ah, AND firefox :)?
| 
| Now it crashed again:
| Application: KPhotoAlbum (kphotoalbum), signal: Aborted
| __lll_lock_wait_private ()
|     at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:97
| 	in ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S
| The current source language is "auto; currently asm".

| I get these messages all the time
| For debugging: the command that was attempted to be executed was:
| DELETE FROM exif WHERE fileName=?
| For debugging: the command that was attempted to be executed was:
| INSERT into exif values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
| (Had to delete & rebuild my exif database)
| 
| Hmm.. The viewer tends to default to 100x100 window that is a bit small.
| 
| Where are tokens in the find dialog?
| I'm also missing the icons from 'clear form' and 'find' buttons.
| 
| Also the keyboard shortcut in the tagging dialog to 'finish / OK'
| doesn't work (Valmis in Finnish)
| Neither does the Find keyboard shortcut (Etsi) in Find dialog.
| 
| Thumbnail viewer draws incorrectly blue borders (indicating selection)
| to below or on top of some images that are not selected.
| 
| So to me 4.1.1 looks like a buggy version. However there are also some
| very NICE things:
| Centered navigation icons, untagged photos etc are nice features.
| and yes, ppm seems to be ~fast thumbnail format.
| Thumbnail preloader seems to work a lot better than earlier, very nice!
| 
| Thank you people for your work!
| 
| (tell me and I'll add some of this to kde bugs)
