KPhotoAlbum FAQ/da

Kan jeg også organisere mine videoklip? Bliver der lavet miniaturer? Kan videoklippene afspilles fra programmet?

Se Video i KPhotoAlbum.

Hvordan kan jeg vise kommentarerne i et tooltip når jeg går hen over et billede?

Tast Ctrl + T. Tooltippet indeholder også en større forhåndsvisning.

Hvordan sletter jeg et nøgleord?

Rediger et billede (vælg Beskriv de enkelte billeder i kontekstmenuen), vælg nøgleordet, højreklik på det og vælg Slet.

Kan jeg organisere mine billeder i forskellige mapper?

Det kan du sagtens, blot alle dine billedmapper har en fælles rod. Med andre ord kan du have dine billeder i et mappehierarki. I øjeblikket understøtter KPhotoAlbum ikke fuldt ud billeder i mere en et hierarki. Dog kan du bruge kommandolinjetilvalget -c til at angive, hvilket billedhierarki, du ønsker at bruge, fx

kphotoalbum -c Pictures/index.xml

Roden af dit standardhierarki gemmes i konfigurationsfilen ~/.kde/share/config/kphotoalbumrc i din hjemmemappe, fx som configfile=/home/<user>/Pictures/index.xml.

Kan jeg flytte mine billeder rundt på harddisken?

Ja, fra version 1.1 gemmer KimDaBa/KPhotoAlbum tjeksummer for hvert billede. Før du flytter billeder rundt er det nok en god ide at bruge menuen Vedligeholdelse -> Genberegn tjeksum

Når jeg vælger flere billeder kan jeg ikke gå frem og tilbage i listen af billeder med tasterne PageUp og PageDown, jeg ser bare det første billede. Hvordan kan jeg bruge PageUp og PageDown til af gå fra billede til billede?

Du bør ikke taste Enter i miniaturevisningen for at se flere billeder; brug istedet Vis -> Vis eller Ctrl + I. Desuden skal du vælge alle de billeder, som du vil vise før du viser dem.

Du kan omdefinere tastaturgenvejen Enter til at gøre det samme som Ctrl + I i menuen Indstillinger -> Indstil genveje. Da tasten Enter allerede bruges til funktionen Slå fuldskærm til/fra, så bør du også vælge en ny tastaturgenvej til denne funktion. Du kan for eksempel vælge at lade tasten F skifte til fuldskærm (lige som i mplayer). Husk bare, at taste Ctrl + A før Enter hvis du ønsker at bladre igennem alle billeder.

How can I copy pictures into another directory?

Just select the pictures you are interested in, and drag and drop them into Konqueror or Dolphin.

Is there a feature to export filenames for a list of images?

Just select the pictures you are interested in, and drag and drop the images into your terminal window (for example, Konsole or gnome-terminal).

You can also use the Edit -> Copy menu item

Remember that some editors do not support drag and drop properly

What should I put in the Keywords field ?

Keywords are a way to tag images with relevant words, so you can search for them later. It is up to you what keywords should be applied to your pictures. Here are some tips to help you decide what keywords to add to your pictures:

• Don´t be too specific. A keyword that is too specialized will only be used on a small number of pictures, is seldom useful, and will require a bit of extra time to apply to some images. Generalized keywords are more useful than they might seem at first, because if you have many images with the same keyword, you can further restrict the search (e.g. : search for both keywords "Funny" & "Jesper"). It´s more likely that you will remember to set your keywords (and want to do it) if there are not too many, and they are generally high-level and memorable (examples : Funny, Family, Comes From Internet, Beautiful landscape, ...)

• Ask yourself what you intend to do with your pictures, and set keywords in this spirit. For example "wallpaper" if you like to change your wallpaper often, or "Gimp"; if you think you will have to retouch this picture someday. Another example : put "+++" on pictures you find really beautiful. This way, when a friend comes, you can show an impressive slideshow with only those pictures and you will want. To put pictures from your trip in the USA on your website (but not all the 1000 you have!), just search "+++" & "USA" and that´s it!

Is there a way to run KPhotoAlbum on Windows?

Yes, take a look at KPhotoAlbum on Windows

How do I sort images by filename or folder instead of by date?

The current version of KPhotoAlbum doesn't have this functionality. However, you can search for images by filename or folder name.

When I am tagging multiple images at once, I only want to change one or two tags, and not have all the checkboxes apply to all the images.

The check boxes in KPhotoAlbum 3 are tri-state, so that you can unmark a keyword for all images, leave a keyword unchanged for others, or mark all images with a keyword. Some KDE themes don't show the middle state as being different from the checked state, so you may need to choose a different theme.

I want to include a folder full of images, without copying them into the KPhotoalbum directory tree.

While future versions of KPhotoAlbum will allow more than one root folder to be added, you might need this ability right now -- and you might not want to copy 10,000 images to the KPhotoAlbum folder. If you're comfortable with the command line, use the first example. If you like Konqueror, use the second.

• On the command line, change to the KPhotoAlbum image root folder. Type

ln -s TARGET_FOLDER ./

TARGET FOLDER is where you substitute the path of the folder you want to include. This will create a link to that folder without copying the files

• In Konqueror, open a window in the KPhotoAlbum image root folder and another above the folder you want to include. Hold down Ctrl + Shift, and drag the folder you want into a BLANK area in the KPhotoAlbum root folder (you don't want to drop the link into a new folder). If you don't hold down Ctrl + Shift, you will get a menu that lets you choose to copy, move or link the folder. Choose link here.
