Move over Digikam

Well, I loved digikam, especially the cosmetic changes in version 0.6.1 but the fact that it no longer supports subdirectories in the album / collection list makes it nigh unusable for our multi-gig photo library. Today however I found a bunch of alternatives, and finally one which looks as though it will do perfectly – showImg [jalix.org].

ShowImg is KDE 3.2 based, and seems to have all the bits and pieces we need – plus all the things R complained about being missing in digikam. It doesn’t get photos off the camera, but we can use konqueror, digikam or gphoto for that quite happily I think. In the search for this program I also discovered a number of very nice photo album webifiers and managers which I think I will take a closer look at in preparation for our joyous return to broadband (more on this later)…
