Digikam
Digikam is a KDE-based image organizer with built-in editing features via a plugin architecture.
Installation
Install digikam. Optionally, install kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs to generate thumbnails for video files.
Troubleshooting
Video playback
A Phonon backend is installed as a dependency of Digikam, but matching multimedia codecs may be missing. When using the phonon-qt4-gstreamer backend, install one or more of its plugins with pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{good,bad,ugly,ffmpeg}
.
Unreadable tool tips
If tooltips within the user interface are either blank (empty rectangles), or unreadable due to a poor foreground and background combination, choose a different widget style:
- Navigate to Settings > Configure digiKam > Miscellaneous
- Now in Widget Style, choose "Cleanlooks"
This will have a simple, readable white text on black background in the tool tip.
