Otherwise, 5.3 has been working really well for me, thanks for the efforts of all involved.

I think those were the only issues compared to 4.x. Please make sure that anything that can get stuck had a cancel button. On 2 different machines the import of the digikam 4 db wasn't successful, it just got stuck and I had to kill the process and choose to not import the db on the next start. I think this issue existed in older versions of digikam 4.x but was fixed (maybe in a bug I reported?). EF-S 17-85) I need to select the lens manually. Since my body isn't listed in the lensfun database, I notice that even if I select the body manually and there is an exact match for the lens (e.g.

I wasn't able to download photos from my camera using the appimage of 5.3, whereas 4.12 just works with no fiddling (auto-detects the camera connected by USB), so I currently download on 4.12 Possibly appimage-specific? (Even better would be to make it easy to get updated lens or body profiles for lensfun in the Digikam settings).

Otherwise it's impossible to include the lens auto-correction in a batch job (which is what I did in 4.x to speed up basic common workflow). In future versions of the appimage, please ship the latest version of the lensfun database. Unfortunately, while Digikam supports the 80D's raw format, the lensfun database included doesn't (although it was added in the upstream source repo more than a month before the digikam 5.3 release). However, one of the problems with the appimage is that it is more difficult to make changes, such as a updating the canon dslr file from lensfun, which would normally be trivial. Although I am mostly happy with Digikam 4.12 provided by the distro, I needed 5.2 or newer for raw support for my new Canon 80D.

Thanks for the Appimage, I am using it since the latest stable version of my distro currently doesn't ship new enough versions of KF5 and I would need to go to some effort (uninstall KDE4 or build a VM to compile on) to build updated versions.
#Digikam on 4k display software
A special thanks to Maik Qualmaan who improve code everywhere.ĭigiKam software collection source code tarball, Linux 32/64 bits AppImage bundles, MacOS package, and Windows 32/64 bits installers can be downloaded from this repository All help are welcome to contribute on user manual, by writing sections, proof-reading, translating, etc.įor furher information, take a look into the list of more than 40 files currently closed in Bugzilla. With the continuous help of Wolfgang Scheffner, The digiKam handbook have been updated again and is available on-line at digiKam. See AppImage documentation if you need more information about. The simple way to use the digiKam AppImage is to download the right file for your system (32 bits or 64 bits), to make it executable, and to run it. All are optimized for digiKam, and without extra or experimental configurations which can crash the application in special cases. The bundle include main 3rd-party libraries used by digiKam as Lensfun, OpenCV, and Exiv2. Another AppImage advantage is to be able to provide quickly a pre-release bundle to test last patches applied to source code, outside the releases plan.

This permit to quickly test a new release without to wait an official package dedicated for your Linux box. Better, you can use the official digiKam from your Linux distribution in parallel, and test the new version without any conflict with one used in production.
#Digikam on 4k display install
You don't need to install digiKam on your system to be able to use it. AppImage use Fuse file-system, which is de-compressed into a temporary directory to start the application. All is included into the bundle, as last Qt5 and KF5 frameworks.
#Digikam on 4k display portable
This version introduces an important common solution to deploy the application under Linux using AppImage bundle.ĪppImage is an open-source project dedicated to provide a simple way to distribute portable software as compressed binary file, that standard user can run as well, without to install special dependencies. After a 3rd release 5.2.0 published more than one month ago, the digiKam team is proud to announce the new release 5.3.0 of digiKam Software Collection.
