There are separate graphics/digikam and graphics/digikam-doc ports, must be a good chunk of docs 0.o

I checked out the projects website and it looks like a good program, if a bit of a 'big' one but hey if it works :\. I can live with the libgphoto depend's (which says it supports my camera coincidentally, hmm) and I don't mind it being KDE based.


Showimg looks like an interesting program for this and a possible replacement for xv as well, hows is it on resource usage BSDKaffee?


I did look at KPhotoAlbum after visiting the DigiKam site. Looks like a program I would like for this task but I'm not sure if the UI is one I'd want to use continually over the years.


When it comes to the libs/de's I'm not overly partial to using one over the other as long as the app doesn't pull in most of an entire desktop environment or break one in the process. I just don't want to have to break down to having to write some thing manageable through Perl+Qt3+SQL on top of all of my other projects atm.


We're talking about maybe ~8 or more albums worth of pictures if every thing (eventually) gets sorted. Possibly over a dozen between grandparents, parents, and personal ones... All of which are likely to need resizing and tagging, so effective use of time is a must!


I have a small for-fun project involving the test machine later, if it doesn't blow up I might be able to give a test install to digicam and showimg over the weekend without mucking with my laptops software.
