KPhotoAlbum 6.1.0 released
October 04, 2025
I’m delighted to announce the new 6.1.0 release of KPhotoAlbum, the photo management software for KDE/Linux!
This is the first new release of our new KF6/Qt6 port, and it brings some fine-tuning, but we could also bring forward the code apart from bugfixes. here's the ChangeLog:
Added
- Add command line option --config
- Add command line option --save-and-quit
- Add home and end key shortcuts to date bar
- Add option to append description text when changing multiple image descriptions (#470433)
- Show visual feedback when setting a rating in the viewer (#509964)
Changed
- index.xml file format version bumped to “11”: The new file format version improves the “compressed” file format and handles arbitrary category names correctly. Positionable tags are also now stored natively in the “compressed” file format with far less overhead.
- Disable “View” actions when not appropriate (#505185)
Fixed
- Fix purpose plugin support (#501885)
- Fix database corruption when using category names starting with numbers (#477533)
- Improve responsiveness of date bar
- Fix spurious entries in “Search for images and videos with incomplete dates” (#505023)
- Fix crash when interacting with a category after deleting it (#478015)
Thanks everbody!
