Lighttable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This tool is written to view, sort and rename photographs.
|
||
|
|
For sorting, you can move the pictures freely around on the "table" like slides, that's where the name comes from.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
exiftool, convert and md5sum must be installed (I think, they usually are).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Restrictions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right now, the program is written for .jp(e)g files only.
|
||
|
|
The program is written under KDE - no idea, if it is useable with GTK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recommendations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Before starting, use Konqueror's preview (or Gwenview, Dolphin, Nautilus, Digikam or any similar program) to create thumbnails of your
|
||
|
|
picture folder. They do that 10x times faster than I can. If this program has to create thumbnails, it takes almost 1 sec / picture.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. For testing, don't choose a folder that contains hundreds of pictures. Loading takes time (but may be cancelled).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. But while the pictures are loaded, you can already work. Just right-click on the background and on the frames to get context menus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Questions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. How to use KDE's Thumbnail Generator (or any other of those fast programs) with a SHELL command?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. When a file is renamed, the program also renames the thumbnail (in the folder /home/user/.thumbnails/normal).
|
||
|
|
Now it would be correct to also re-write the meta-info of the thumbnail. But no idea how to do that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have fun (I hope)!
