[»] IPTC keywords, titles , please
by Michał Szkutnik - Nov 19th 2006 08:22:03

If your app could read and alter IPTC/XMP comments (well, the standard used by Picasa, or IrfanView), it would be so, so, so great. Because no other app I know supports it, and the ability to store the metadata in the picture is way better than storing it separately.

I would make your application the killer picture viewer for me :)

    Loading/storing comment information from image files is on the TODO list, as is maintaining a DB that can be searched (to find your pictures...)

[»] Feature Request: Automatic Ctrl-C option
by sprocketboy - Sep 30th 2003 14:17:45

Here is the version I am using, installed from a Mandrake RPM:

flphoto-1.1-1mdk

I am using flphoto with KDE, and I noticed now that when I press the button on my Kodak EasyShare docking station, an "flphoto" icon pops up on my desktop. Clicking on this "dynamic icon" opens flphoto, which is a really neat feature.

However, I would like to see this feature (optionally) augmented with the following. Could you put a checkbox option that would allow flphoto to automatically issue itself a "Control-C" command (to browse the connected camera's contents) when this "dynamic icon" is double-clicked?

I would not want to initiate the full download at this point, because I might want to change the download directory. I would just like to see the "camera browser" dialog box showing current pictures in the camera, the same one you get if your camera is connected and you manually press Ctrl-C.

Again, this should be a user option, such as Options->Auto Browse Camera on Dynamic Icon Click or some such. Some people might not want this feature, so they should have the option to disable it.

    Hmm, I'll have to work with Till to find out what additional packaging changes he has made; ideally I should just be able to add a command-line option to open the import dialog right away...

    Thanks for the feedback!

[»] flphoto hits the target!
by rob - Apr 9th 2003 12:14:01

flphoto is a a breath of fresh air after trying the other
open source photo editors which are either way too powerful
(gimp) or can't do the obvious stuff like crop or print multiple
photos per page. And its EXIF aware - at last! Very nice
job for release 1.0

Couple suggestions:
o Crop window drag-box seems either broken or
non-intuitive (drag just moves a cross hair, not a box)
o Save album requires you type the right extension (.album).
If you do, cool. If you don't (and its not obvious at first)
then subsequently opening the album fails.
o Image properties lets you type a comment (above EXIF
information) but this doesn't end up in the image EXIF
comments as one would expect, but in the album file.

    This is a known issue with the new GCC 3.x headers; a quick fix is to add: typedef unsigned short ushort; to the Fl_CRW_Image.H file. I'll be doing a new release in the near future that addresses the compile problems.

[»] Problem reading Kodak DX-4900 pics taken in "Burst" mode
by sprocketboy - Jan 16th 2003 22:58:23

Okay, I noticed a problem reading images taken in 1.0 MP "burst" mode on a Kodak DX-4900. If I try to read these images directly off the Kodak Dock II station using gphoto2, flphoto acts as if the images don't exist.

However, I can pop the CompactFlash module into a flash reader (I use the Dazzle 6-in-1, it works great on Linux if you recompile your kernel to probe all SCSI LUNs). Using this flash reader, the CF module appears as a usb mass-storage device, and I can use nautilus to browse the directories.

All images are stored on the camera in a directory called:

dcim/100k4900

<tangent>
If you take more than 10,000 images during the life of your camera, the Kodak "OS" will create a new directory called dcim/101k4900.

If you take more than 20,000 images, the next directory will be called dcim/102k4900, and so on.

This tangent is irrelevant to my problem now, but it could become an issue in the future.
</tangent>

Anyway, if you take some pictures in one of the "normal" modes, they will have a filename that looks like this:

dcim/100k4900/dcp_xxxx.jpg, where 'xxxx' is a four-digit sequence number that increments by one with every picture you take. It does not go back to 0000 when you delete all pictures in the camera, when you turn it off, or even when you remove and replace the battery. It just keeps incrementing until it gets to 9999, and then it goes back to 0000 in a new directory, as described above.

Now, when you take 12 consecutive pictures in "1.0 MP Burst" mode, you get filenames that look like this:

dcim/100k4900/byy_xxxx.jpg, where 'xxxx' is a four-digit sequence number as above, but 'yy' is a *second* sequence number that identifies which "burst" this image is part of. So, if you take 3 bursts of 12 pics each, you get b01_0017.jpg through b01_0028.jpg as the first burst, b02_0029.jpg through b02_0040.jpg as the second burst, and so on.

I have a feeling that maybe Michael did not know about this alternate naming for "Burst Mode" pictures when he wrote the parser for picture filenames on the DX4900 using the direct connection and gphoto2. I hope it's just a couple of lines of code that need to be modified.

It would be cool if flphoto were not only able to read these burst images, but also sort them into different albums automagically. However, that "but also" is a wishlist kind of suggestion.

Other that this, flphoto is a great effin program, it blows gtkam out of the water. By the way, gtkam can't read burst mode pictures neither.

    Have you tried any of the other frontends for gphoto2? All flPhoto does is get a list of files on the camera and shows them, so it sounds like a problem with the camera driver in gphoto2 and not something specific to flPhoto.

      Actually, I tried using gphoto2 --shell from a command line, and sure enough, the "Burst" files don't show up there. It looks like I will have to post all of this again on the gphoto2 mailing list.

      Thanks for your reply.

        I posted this problem on the gphoto2 developer's list, and someone named Mariusz said that they had fixed the problem in CVS and that the fix would likely be in the next gphoto2 release. I got the impression from Mariusz that gphoto2 might export these burst mode pictures in a separate folder, which would make sorting them into a different album much easier.

        Thanks again, and sorry for the interruption.

          Just to follow up, this problem was fixed by the (pre)release of gphoto2 version 2.1.2. There is a "release candidate" RPM of this version of gphoto2 on MandrakeClub.com for those of you who are members, the rest I guess will have to wait for the official release.

[»] bug report
by Lars Täuber - Jan 11th 2003 04:08:31

Hi,

i like your programm very much. but it's hard to find your email address to write a bug report.

i encountered a problem with pictures you insert two or more times into an album. the comments for the pictures are overwritten when you have the same picture in the album one more time. may be you should check the presence of the picture before inserting another time.

what about a cyan-eye remove filter (we have a dog)

thanks alot for the great software. i hoped it to store the pictures in the album (a tar file with directory structure?).

best regards

Lars

    What version are you using? This was "fixed" in v0.9.


    > what about a cyan-eye remove filter (we
    > have a dog)

    As I don't have any images with this, I can't test for this; feel free to email a few samples...

    You can export to a directory and then use the tar command to archive it.

    Hmm, the RedEye filter certainly appears to be active in at least 0.9 and 1.0. It hasn't gotten a lot of testing (don't have a lot of images to test with), but should be available to play with.

    The author or this little jewel is the same as the one who is
    responsible for CUPS (the Common UNIX Printing System),
    HTMLDOC (the HTML to PDF/PS conversion utility) and who
    started to develop the now renowned Gimp-Print printer
    drivers. Google will surely lead to his e-Mail address.... ;-)

    You should very well know who is author of flPhoto since You are Macrosoft "developer" (Macrosoft is based on FLTK code, and Mike is one of core developers).
