KPhotoalbum

Overview

kPhotoalbum is the photo/video cataloging and organising program that was packaged with KDE desktop on Debian/Ubuntu Linux distributions for many years. But there were a few things that annoyed me and a few requirements that it didn't fulfill. So I made a few customizations to the code for my own use.

Desired Functionality

* Use wildcard searching on some fields such as filename

  • When entering a field value, show not only matching field names, but subfields for those names where they exist, eg start typing “flower” and it will bring it “flower→rose” “flower→daisy” etc
  • Add extra parameter, along with date/time/filename, for each photo for grouping photos, in particular an “observation number” parameter
