![]() Note that we don’t plan to share this plugins interface with other external applications, as they depend too much on digiKam core API. This will take a while and it will done step by step in the next 6.x releases. In the future, we plan to extend DPlugins to others parts of digiKam, as Image loaders, Camera operations, Database, Face Management, Maintenance, etc. DPlugins is based only on pure Qt API for a better portability and maintainability. DPlugins is a safe approach to increase features without loosing stability. This will permit to extend digiKam without touching the core implementationĪnd organize the changes only in dynamically loading tools. for the students that will work with us during this summer. The DPlugins API is already available for external contributions, e.g. See below on the left side the famous Metadata Editor plugin in action from Showfoto application, and on the right side the Showfoto DPlugins configuration tab from setup dialog. ![]() This permits you to optimize and customize your digiKam or Showfoto as you want.īatch Queue Manager plugins are not yet configurable in this way, but it’s just a question of time.Īs said previously, DPlugins are shared also between digiKam and Showfoto, the stand alone version of digiKam image editor which do not support the digiKam database. Nothing will be lost from users side compared to previous versions:Īs you can see in these screenshots, the Generic and Image Editor plugins can be enabled or disabled during application sessions. The list of plugins is already very long, and we work hard to make all the features ready to use in only 2 months. Now you will get a feeling of the huge difference to the older KIPI solution: digiKam becomes really open andĮxtensible as it must do since a very long time, where KIPI never achieve this task. This include all Generic tools to import/export items or edit metadata, but wait a minute… more than that also Image Editor re-touch tools (colors editing, Transforms, Decorate, Effects, etc.),Īnd wait a second… still more Batch Queue Manager tools to process many files at once. in Image Editor, Light Table, Showfoto, and of course the Album View. Where the KIPI tools were limited to the Main Album View in digiKam, DPlugins can be used everywhere, e.g. It’s time to turn the page now and to reload the story with a new plugin interface more powerful, more adjusted to all digiKam main tools, with an extended support to Showfoto,ĭon’t be afraid, you will loose nothing and gain more power with this new plugins interface, named “DPlugins” for… “digiKam Plugins” of course. digiKam 5.9.0 was the last version supporting KIPI after more than 15 years, and less and less support outside of the digiKam project. With 6.0.0, digiKam project has already left the KIPI plugins support and embedded all tools as native solutions without easly permitting to customize and extend theĪpplication. We are proud to quickly announce the new digiKam 6.1.0, To consolidate this important stage of this project started 2 years ago.
