Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: SuSE RPMs For user comfort is needed plugin for sending photos to minilab. One of the project, which make the upload easier is <a href="http://cihar.com/software/photo-uploader/">http://cihar.com/software/photo-uploader/</a>, but there can be in the future many others.
And another one for Colin (:=)))... Gilles
Another web service export plugin... Gilles Caulier
Also we have a interesting development here in Czech Republic, all our digi foto producers were bought by Deutsche firma CeWe which uses some java upload application. This application in fact doesn't work well under Linux and all the older upload solutions, like windows publishing wizard or photo-uploader, aren't functional at all. I have asked for upload API, but CeWe is too big to answer such a question.
WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able to export a workflow on a web-service. All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to deal with export tools through libkipi. All export tools are now located here : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the application : - digiKam (database) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h - Showfoto (files metadata) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto. We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete: https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with another external application. API will still private and only shared between Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to maintain/extend in time. Gilles Caulier
