KPhotoAlbum for KDE 4 released

May 11, 2009

After years of migrating efforts KPhotoAlbum for KDE 4 was finally released today. Download

KPhotoAlbum 4.0 is mainly a port from KDE 3 to KDE 4, but it does contain one major new feature, namely stacking, and a number of minor polishing.

Stacking

Image stacking allows you to mark a number of images to be the same shot (think 10 images of Grand Canyon being almost the same, or a raw image converter and cropped in different ways).

Polishing

• It is now possible to search for images with changed MD5 sum - very useful for searching for corrupted image files.
• It is now possible to configure the aspect ratio in the thumbnail viewer
• "Show this image" will now load all images in current view, thus making pressing Ctrl+A optional.
• Recognize .flv and .erf files
• In the annotation dialog there now is a new button for copying the annotations from the previous image.
• Display a warning instead of black screen when current image can't be shown in the Viewer
• Support PEF, a raw format from Pentax' DSLRs.
• Add Edit->Copy for copying a list of URLs to selected images to clipboard.
• Automatically hide mouse cursor and disable screensaver when in Viewer
• Add Edit->Open List of Files menu that shows list of thumbnails that matches user-entered stuff.
• The import dialog will now check if an image already exists in the DB with the same MD5 sum, and offer to merge the information about the images.
• Keywords has now been replaced with Events in the default setup that people will get when they create a new database.
