			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gigantti tarjoaa valokuvakirjantekosoftaa myös Linuxille, kts <a  href="http://photo.gigantti.fi/">http://photo.gigantti.fi</a>. Ajattelin laittaa testiin.</p>
<p><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti1.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="gigantti1"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3044" title="gigantti1" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti1-300x183.png" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></a><span id="more-3042"></span></p>
<p>Ladattavana on <a  href="http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz">setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</a> -niminen paketti.</p>
<p>Ladataan se:</p>
<p><code>wget http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</code></p>
<p>Tuloksena on n. 9.1K kokoinen paketti. Puretaan se.</p>
<p><code>tar zxf setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.tgz</code></p>
<p>Sieltä pullahtaa ulos kaksi tiedostoa:</p>
<p><code>EULA.txt (6.6K) ja install.pl (25K)<br />
</code></p>
<p>EULA:n ensimmäine kappale kertoo tällaista:</p>
<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste">”Gigantti Photo Shop” -ohjelman (jäljempänä ”ohjelma”) asennusta ja käyttöä koskevat lisenssi- ja käyttöehdot. Ohjelman julkaisija on CeWe Color AG &amp; Co. OHG, Meerweg 30-32, 26133 Oldenburg. Ohjelman on tuottanut ja sen omistaa CeWe Color AG &amp; Co. OHG (jäljempänä tekijä), Meerweg 30-32, 26133 Oldenburg. Toimituksellisissa teemoissa olevat kuvat ja tekstit ovat tekijänoikeudellisesti suojatut. Maksun yhteydessä käyttäjä saa ei-yksinoikeudellisen ja ei-siirrettävän oikeuden ladata valitut teemat omalle tietokoneelleen oman henkilökohtaisen albumin käyttöön. Kuvien ja tekstien käyttö, sisältäen myös muokkauksen ja/tai kopioinnin, ja jakelu jatkossa on kielletty. Materiaalia ei myöskään saa antaa julkiseen käyttöön.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>No ei varsinaisesti yllättänyt. Vilkaistaanpas tuota install.pl:ää. Näyttäisi lataavan serveriltä jonkinlaisen indeksitiedoston jonka perusteella lataa loput. Ajetaan se.</p>
<p><code>./install.pl</code></p>
<p>Terminaalissa toimii. Suomeksi antaa jutut, alkuun luetuttaa EULA:n, ja kysyy hyväksytäänkö ne [ja/NEJ]. Vähän puutteellinen suomennos.</p>
<p>Tämän jälkeen kysyy asennuskansiota, ehdottaa kotikansion alle luotavaksi kansiota Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti Photo Shop.</p>
<p>Ehdottaa ladattavaksi seuraavia settejä netistä [JA/nej]</p>
<p><code> Executable [application/zip]    2908186 (2.8M)<br />
Linux Libraries [application/zip]       12509022 (12M)<br />
Photofun [application/zip]      7995687 (7.6M)<br />
Resources [application/zip]     30273193 (29M)<br />
SVGTemplates [application/zip]  11740978 (11M)<br />
</code></p>
<p>Latailu kuitenkin päättyi näin iloisesti:</p>
<p><code><br />
Tarvittavat tiedostot pakataan asennuskansioon.<br />
Asennustiedostoa ei voitu luoda.<br />
</code></p>
<p>Leatherman esiin ja tutkimaan..<br />
Ei luonut koko kohdekansiota. Latasi paketit  kansioon josta installerin käynnistin. Jos olisi vapaampaa koodia, saattaisin viitsiä katsoa miksi näin. Niinpä nyt ajan asennusohjelman uudelleen.</p>
<p>Ja zädäm, kun EULA:n hyväksymisen jälkeen annan ohjelmalle luvan asentaa oletuskansioon, se purkaa tiedostot lataamatta niitä uudelleen ja kertoo että</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;Gigantti Photo Shop&#8217; on nyt asennettu tietokoneellesi.<br />
Aloittaaksesi sinun pitää ajaa &#8216;/home/rhk/Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti Photo Shop/Gigantti Photo Shop&#8217; -tiedosto.</p></blockquote>
<p>No eihän tuollaista voi ajaa, välilyönnit ja kaikki, oikea ajettava on<br />
<code> /home/rhk/Gigantti_photoshop4.5/Gigantti\ Photo\ Shop/Gigantti\ Photo\ Shop</code></p>
<p>Koitin myös ohjelman Windows-versiota, halusin tietää, miten se on toteutettu. Niinpä latasin <a  href="http://dls.photoprintit.de/download/Data/5074/hps/setup_Gigantti_Photo_Shop.exe">EXE</a>-tiedoston ja asentelin sen Winellä Kubuntuuni. Lähinnä halusin nähdä onko tässä käytetty hyödyksi Qt:n etuja ja sama softa saatu helposti kolmelle alustalle. Latailun aikana jo katselin niin kyllä, Qt-tavaraa kovasti asennuksen aikana ilmestyy winen kansioon. Valikoita selailemalla löytyy viittaukset myös Nokiaan:</p>
<div id="attachment_3045" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti2.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="Copyrights"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3045" title="Copyrights" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti2-300x238.png" alt="Copyrights" width="300" height="238" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Copyrights</p></div>
<p>Nyt siis käynnistelin rinnakkain Windows-versio winen päällä sekä Linux-versio.</p>
<p>Kumpikin ehdottaa uuden version tarkastusta (ja asennusta). Kumpikin väittää siinä onnistuneensa. Windows-versio tosin katoaa johonkin..</p>
<p>Jep, Windows-versio ei näytä selviävän päivityksestä. Käynnistän sen siis ilman päivitystä.</p>
<p>Ei auta, johonkin se aina katoaa, tällaisin ilmoituksin:</p>
<p><code><br />

</code></p>
<p>No, ei siis ajeta Qt:n päällä Wineä joka ajaa Qt-ohjelmaa.</p>
<p>Ajetaan suoraan Qt-ohjelmaa, eli Linux-versiota.</p>
<p>Ohjelman mukana seuraa kattavanoloinen opas/ohjepaketti. Samalla ohjelmalla voi tilata myös tavalliset valokuvat, erikoistuotteet jne.<br />
Kirjaa luodessa avustajaa (&#8216;wizard&#8217;) ei ole pakko käyttää, ajattelin kuitenkin kokeilla. Alkuun valitaan käytettävät kuvat. Päätetään sivumäärää, kuinka monta kuvaa sivulle jne.</p>
<p>Tämän jälkeen valitaan taustan tyyppi: kova kansi, pehmeä kansi, kangaskansi, vihko jne.</p>
<p>Tausta. Voin valita samanaikaisesti kuusi erilaista taustaa (musta, valkoinen, oma kuva sekä 3 automaattisesti tuumittua kuviota). Samoin voin valita useamman erilaisen tavan asetella kuvat sivuille.</p>
<div id="attachment_3046" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti3.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-3042" title="Osa sivua"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3046" title="Osa sivua" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gigantti3-300x117.png" alt="Osa sivua" width="300" height="117" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Osa sivua</p></div>
<p>Kuvien lajittelu ja sijoitus voidaan määritellä kolmella tavalla, liittyen jotenkin aikasidonnaisuuteen, siis että onko kuvat lomamatkan eri päiviltä vai vuoden 2009 tapahtumista (pääsiäinen, kesäloma, joulu..), vai tiedostonimien perusteella arvotaan jotain.</p>
<p>Viimeisellä välilehdellä valitaan asetukset, millä perusteella kuvia voidaan karsia pois valikoimasta, siis jos kuvia on enemmän kuin sivuille mahtuisi: samanlaiset kuvat, epäterävät kuvat, ylimlottuneet kuvat ja joku &#8216;värikkäät kuvat&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;Näytä ryhmittely&#8217; oli lajitellut testikuvat kahteen pakettiin &#8211; ne oli kuvattu n. kahtena viikonloppuna, välissä oli useampi vuosi. &#8216;Albumin luonti&#8217; teki jotain, tämän jälkeen se ehdotti kaikista salamalla otetuista kuvista punasilmäisyyden poistoa: &#8216;Poistetaanko?&#8217;, &#8216;Kyllä/En&#8217;. Lienee lueskellut EXIF-tietoja kuvista.</p>
<p>No, kun nämä naputtelin läpi (olisin voinut myös valita &#8216;tee tämä kaikille&#8217; tms), sain eteeni kirjan, johon kuvat oli heitelty valmiiksi sivuille. Pystykuvia se ei ollut osannut kääntää pystyyn. Sivuille oli heitetty yksi kuva taustalle ja loput sitten siihen päälle. Joihinkin tarkoituksiin kovin rauhaton tapa mutta lienee jotenkin itse päätettävissä. Sivujen asettelua sai helposti muokattua hilaamalla vain uusi &#8216;leiska&#8217; vanhan päälle. Kuvat päällekkäin, vierekkäin, kulmittain, tekstilaatikoita.. Myös taustavärin vaihto oli helppo homma, hilataan vain uusi taustaväri tai -kuvio sivun päälle.</p>
<p>Ohjelmassa on tallennusominaisuudet, tilausominaisuudet jne jne. Asetukset vaikuttavat monipuolisilta. Myös &#8216;tallenna nimellä&#8230;&#8217; löytyy: ohjelma tallentaa jonkinlaiseen XML -formaattiin:</p>
<p><code>fotobook producttype="17" version="3.0" isDataMcf="0" theme="normal" productname="ALB17" savetime="2010-02-18 23:21" normalpages="26" imagedir="Gigantti_mcf-Dateien" fotobooksize="QUADHARD" productvariant="" totalpages="31" startdatecalendarium="" programversion="4005004" covercolor="000000" productparameter=""</code></p>
<p>Kullekin kuvalle voi tehdä kaikenlaisia muokkauksia: säätää sävyjä, käännellä ja peilailla, skaalata, rajata, puuttua kirkkauteen, kontrastiin, värikylläisyyteen, &#8216;color&#8217; ja &#8216;hue&#8217; sekä tietysti poistaa punaisia silmiä. Kunkin käsitellyn kuvan pystyi jopa tallentamaan vielä ohjelman ulkopuolelle jpg:nä.</p>
<p>Alun päivitysohjelma yritti latailla uusia hinnastoja, mahdollisesti siinä kuitenkaan onnistumatta. Tämä tuntuu vähän aiheuttavan jotain häikkää tilaussivulla hintojen laskemisessa.</p>
<p>Tilatessa pitää rekisteröityiä palvelun käyttäjäksi syöttämällä kaikenlaisia tietoja.</p>
<h3>Summa summarum</h3>
<p>Ei valittamista. Tuntuu toimivan ihan uskottavasti. Gigantin painojäljestä, hinnoista, toimitusajoista en tiedä, ohjelma kuitenkin toimii Linuxissa uskottavan hyvin, pienistä puutteista ja käännöskukkasista huolimatta.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I use <a  href="http://kphotoalbum.org/">KPhotoAlbum</a> to manage the about 50 000 photos in my archive. It&#8217;s a great, powerful application to tag and find photos. However I find it a bit hard to include the edited versions of photos in the database.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;d like to know what would be a good method to work with original photo files and the modified versions?</p>
<p><span id="more-2933"></span></p>
<p>Here are some ways I can come up with, all having a downside.</p>
<ol>
<li>Keep the originals in KPhotoalbum database, modified versions outside this database, maybe under a separate KPA database. Tag all edited originals with &#8216;edited version available&#8217; tag. Not very handy having to manually start KPA to work with another database and having to tag the edited to be able to use search features on them.</li>
<li>Both originals and edited in same folders and same KPA database, tag with same tags + original or edited tags. Problem here is that the edited version has different timestamp-&gt; browsing files doesn&#8217;t tell you easily if a photo has an edited version available or not.</li>
<li>Both originals and edited in the same folder and database and use the stacking feature to group the original with the edited version, give them all the same tags. This causes a lot of manual work moving the edited next to the original image.</li>
</ol>
<p>At the moment I have all edited versions in another folder (managed by the same KPA database as the originals). As the timestamps differ, and I have nef -&gt; tiff -&gt; jpg -workflow also saving the tiff, I have the tiff and jpg sitting alone in the database, far away from the original. Usually I also don&#8217;t tag these edited photos. Not good.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s your way of doing this? What kind of features in KPhotoAlbum would make it easier to work with the original + edited version? How do other photo archive apps do this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a  href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek">Ubuntu Open Week</a> has some great sessions about KDE4, for example. Here&#8217;re the most important lines to me:</p>
<h3>History of KDE4</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; You see, at the time KDE was good<br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Some people had planned to make a free software desktop environment and had succeeded.<br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; There was a desktop shell, a web browser, a file manager, a kick arse music player.  Everything you needed<span id="more-2259"></span><br />
00:02 &lt;+Riddell&gt; But it wasn&#8217;t taking over the world<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; It was good, but it wasn&#8217;t notably better than the rest.<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Along the way Windows had become not quite so crap and Mac OS had been rewritten into something really very impressive, there was also someone called Miguel who kept submitting patches to KDE that got rejected, I heard he went off and did something else<br />
00:03 &lt;+Riddell&gt; So in order to take over the world we had to do better than good.  Incremental improvements on what KDE was wouldn&#8217;t cut it.  We had to take a long term view and make something rocking.<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; As it happens we had a good technical foundation to make something rocking on top of, the Qt library, which was being re-written for the multi-platform bling enabled world of the next decade<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Qt 4 came along and that allowed a whole lot more to be done with desktop applications.  It could make them beautiful.<br />
00:04 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Qt 4 is a big step in taking over the world.  When compositing came along people thought that was beautiful but it only added beauty between the applications.  To have a truely beautiful desktop you need a powerful toolkit which can make beauty easy.  Fortunately Qt 4 does that<br />
00:05 &lt;+Riddell&gt; So KDE had to be rewritten and this took some time.  It had to be made cross platform, easy to programme for complex things and most of all it had to be beautiful<br />
00:05 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and when I say beautiful, artwork is a big part of that, but it&#8217;s a whole user experience<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Needless to say this affected Kubuntu a lot<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Kubuntu is a KDE distro.  We believe that KDE is the best desktop platform and so the best distribution can be made from KDE<br />
00:06 &lt;+Riddell&gt; Our hope is to make KDE shine<br />
00:07 &lt;+Riddell&gt; which will make lots of happy users</p>
<p>00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; 4.0 came out when it did because it had been ages in the making and open source needs people to release often<br />
00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; else the developers get bored<br />
00:09 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and you don&#8217;t want that, then they&#8217;ll go getting boyfriends and girlfriends and stop doing important things like coding</p></blockquote>
<h3>Ubuntu One &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:20 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: Is anyone looking into Ubuntu One integration with for example Akonadi?<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; sandsmark: yes but not enough for it to be packaged<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; till adams did an akonadi plugin to get akonadi talking to the couchdb address book from ubuntu one<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but I don&#8217;t think it got completed to the extent it would be useful for users<br />
00:22 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so anyone who wants to pick that up and run with it would be most welcome</p></blockquote>
<h3>Nokia &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:32 &lt;@akgraner&gt; mmiicc&gt; QUESTION: Does KDE get any help from Nokia?<br />
00:33 &lt;+Riddell&gt; well Nokia funds Qt development and KDE is built on Qt, so that&#8217;s a multi million euro help there<br />
00:33 &lt;+Riddell&gt; they hire a couple of KDE developers and sponsor KDE conferences and developer sprints<br />
00:34 &lt;+Riddell&gt; they also give jobs to a lot of KDE developers who go on to work on Qt (which is a mixed blessing since they often stop doing so much KDE stuff)<br />
00:34 &lt;+Riddell&gt; of course Nokia&#8217;s interest in KDE and Qt is self serving, they want to own the best platform for cross desktop development so that people know and love Qt<br />
00:35 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and they want that working on their phones so people know and love developing for Nokia phones<br />
00:35 &lt;+Riddell&gt; which is all quite mutially compatible with KDE so we&#8217;re happy with the setup</p>
<p>00:43 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: What&#8217;s the nokia-pim-suite in KDE svn: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/nokia-pim-suite/<br />
00:43 &lt;+Riddell&gt; not a skoobie<br />
00:43 &lt;+Riddell&gt; I guess it&#8217;s something mobile related but I&#8217;ve not heard of that before<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; kdepim is still going through the KDE 4 process<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; the apps are ported to KDE 4 but most aren&#8217;t ported to akonadi, the new data management server<br />
00:44 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so there&#8217;s loads of activity going on there</p></blockquote>
<h3>Gnome &amp; KDE</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:46 &lt;@akgraner&gt;  QUESTION: Any changes KDE &amp; Gnome will join their resources to become the One Desktop to Rule Them All? Say 5, 10 years from now?<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; that&#8217;s not really technically possible, you&#8217;d need to rewrite Gnome in Qt and I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much appetite for that<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; it&#8217;s a shame we have this desktop split, it&#8217;s a horrible waste of resources<br />
00:47 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but well, KDE was here first :)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<blockquote><p>00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; so in conclusion, KDE 4 is going to take over the world.  it&#8217;s a long hard job this and we&#8217;re still getting there<br />
00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; but it&#8217;s the best platform and that is turning into the best desktop<br />
00:59 &lt;+Riddell&gt; all helpers welcome in #kubuntu-devel<br />
01:00 &lt;+Riddell&gt; and remember: by becoming a Kubuntu developer you automatically become good looking</p>
<p>01:01 &lt;+Riddell&gt; &lt; rhkfin&gt; QUESTION: does KDE have a community manager, if, who?<br />
01:01 &lt;+Riddell&gt; not that I know of, one of the charms of KDE is it&#8217;s quite non-heirarchical and everybody gets on well with everyone else with very few exceptions, it&#8217;s a great community to be in01:03<br />
01:03 &lt; Riddell&gt; rhkfin: you only need community managers if you hae a dysfunctional community</p></blockquote>
<p>Way to go KDE, and thanks for <a  href="http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.3.3.php">4.3.3</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some great news around today!</p>
<p><strong>KDE 4.1.2 has been released!</strong></p>
<p>KDE4 is the set of programs that Kubuntu uses. From next Kubuntu release on (see below) it will be the default for all Kubuntu desktops, previous releases have been running on KDE3 series. But there&#8217;s a lot of cool stuff why you should upgrade :) I like it!</p>
<p>Install <a  href="http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.2">packages for Hardy Heron</a><br />
or see <a  href="http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.1.2.php">Announcement</a> &amp; <a  href="http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_1_1to4_1_2.php">Changelog</a></p>
<div id="attachment_95" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/kde4-desktop.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-367" title="KDE4 desktop"><img class="size-medium wp-image-95" title="KDE4 desktop" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/kde4-desktop-300x187.png" alt="KDE4 desktop" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KDE4 desktop</p></div>
<p><strong>Kubuntu Intrepid Beta has been released</strong>!</p>
<p>The next Kubuntu version will be officially released in a month but now there&#8217;s a beta version or a &#8216;preview&#8217; for people to test &amp; find bugs. It&#8217;ll bring KDE4 to the masses including the latest KDE 4.1.2.</p>
<p>See <a  href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/IntrepidIbex/Beta/Kubuntu">more information</a> or <a  href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu">upgrade instructions</a></p>
<p><script src="http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/display.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />
Anyone know an easy way to get the <a  href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown">countdown timer</a> in WordPress as a widget?</p>

<p>Does anyone know if there are deb packages available to install a selection of KDE4 themes easily, like any other packages? Or even a repository with all the coolest themes available.</p>
<p><span id="more-279"></span></p>
<p>I know that now you can install new Plasma themes or window decorations by going to <a  href="http://www.kde-look.org">kde-look.org</a>, finding a theme of your choice, downloading it, extracting it to some specific directory and then loading it with the KDE tools. I think this is not the easy way to do it.. Detailed instructions are available at <a  href="http://pramodrt.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/changing-the-kde4-plasma-theme/">pramodrt.com</a> &#8211; as you see it&#8217;s not something you&#8217;d recommend a newbie..</p>
<p>I was actually able to change the theme to the Glassified mentioned in the instructions but some changes were required:</p>
<ul>
<li>yes, you need to create the ~/.kde4/share/apps/desktoptheme directory</li>
<li>You need also to add the following lines in the ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>[Theme]<br />
name=Name-of-the-directory-where-your-theme-is-ie-Glassified</p></blockquote>
<p>Or are there plans to write some kind of theme installer and include it in KDE at some stage?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just informed (<a  href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2008-September/001663.html">ubuntu-translators mailing list</a> via Heikki) that KDE4 upstream translations would have not been imported to <a  href="https://edge.launchpad.net/rosetta">Rosetta</a>, the translation tool Kubuntu and Ubuntu uses. This means that we would not see all the hard work translators have done for the KDE project to be used in distributions.</p>
<p><span id="more-266"></span></p>
<p>To my relief there was later an answer from Arne Goetje (a Canonical employee) <a  href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2008-September/001677.html">in the thread</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The problem you see is with the import script, which marked all KDE4 packages as &#8216;need review&#8217;, because they are new. This means that someone has to review the import queue and manually (!) assign proper domain names to each template to get them approved. Further more there was a communication problem between the Rosetta and Ubuntu teams about the queue management. There is work going on as we speak to batch approve all outstanding templates and upstream translations. We will let you know when it&#8217;s done.</p></blockquote>
<p>So it seems that it&#8217;ll be eventually fixed. I really hope that Intrepid will have a nice localized KDE4 and that we  have patience to wait this fix and when it&#8217;s time, work on the strings and not get too furious about the delay and but actually do something useful to help the process.</p>
<p>And my thanks go to all translators, you are doing a great and important job &#8211; especially the cool Finnish translators of <a  href="https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+lang/fi">Ubuntu</a> and <a  href="http://l10n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=fi">KDE.</a></p>
<p><em>Disclaimer: I might not be aware of everything so don&#8217;t trust me too much :) </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone posted a link in the irc that in the next release of Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex, a user has to accept Firefox EULA (End User Licence Agreement) upon the first run.</p>
<blockquote><p><span id="more-150"></span>A SOURCE CODE VERSION OF CERTAIN FIREFOX BROWSER FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU MAY USE, MODIFY AND DISTRIBUTE IS AVAILABLE TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE FROM WWW.MOZILLA.ORG UNDER THE MOZILLA PUBLIC LICENSE and other open source software licenses. [<a  href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/legal/eula/firefox-en.html">full text</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p>To me it sounded first as a weird thing but reading the <a  href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/269656">Launchpad bug report</a> about it it started to make some sense. But it&#8217;s an annoyance anyway.</p>
<ul>
<li>Not approving doesn&#8217;t stop you from using the browser</li>
<li><a  href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/269656/comments/11">Someone pointed out</a> that these digital EULA acceptances are not valid in certain countries like Finland, for example (Can someone confirm?)</li>
<li>There will possibly be a browser called &#8216;abrowser&#8217; that&#8217;s the same browser but without Firefox branding, <a  href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/269656/comments/5">wrote Mark Shuttleworth</a></li>
<li>Some window explaining the idea behind the EULA as well as mentioning the alternative(s) like abrowser will possibly be shown before showing the actual EULA.</li>
</ul>
<p>So it&#8217;s all about Mozilla believing this is what needs to be done to protect their trademark. It&#8217;s open source, right so you can do pretty much anything you want with it. But it&#8217;s the trademark. Would <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_software_rebranding ">Iceweasel</a> be a solution? Some say that for some reason it&#8217;s more unstable than Firefox. I do agree that as a brand Firefox is good to keep visible in Ubuntu &#8211; that&#8217;s the piece of software many people know from the Windows world but.. still.. Well right, they&#8217;re also used to click click click the EULA&#8217;s of Windows programs so it might not be that big thing for new users but long time Linux users might not like it.</p>
<p>I myself am looking forward to run <a  href="http://dot.kde.org/1218543988/">QT version of Firefox</a> (QT means it&#8217;s designed for KDE, not Gnome as the default Firefox is) and <a  href="http://jussi01.com/?p=26">have already tried it</a>. Though I&#8217;d also like too Konqueror actually conquer as a web browser.. It just doesn&#8217;t know how to render stuff, for example the latest gmail fails..</p>
<p>What would you click? What if some other open source programs would start requiring user accepting an EULA as well. GIMP, Gnome, Konqueror, KDE, F-spot, &#8230; Bad idea, I think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a  href="http://www.kphotoalbum.org">KPhotoAlbum</a> (<a  href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kphotoalbum">Ubuntu package <em>kphotoalbum</em></a>) is the photo archive software of my choice. It handles my around 50 000 (yeah, I know my archive requires some cleaning..) photos pretty nicely.</p>
<p><span id="more-66"></span>Recently I&#8217;ve started to worry if I&#8217;ve chosen smartly, if I should have gone for <a  href="http://www.digikam.org/">digiKam</a>, the photo management software that ships with KDE. It&#8217;s received some really nice features lately (like fuzzy search) and the development been really fast.</p>
<p>But then a while ago I heard that the Great Guys of KPhotoAlbum are going to travel to Denmark and have a week long Development Sprint to work on the KDE4 port of KPhotoAlbum. So this is the week when it&#8217;s happening. Jesper, Tuomas, Henner and Jan have done a great job not only working on the KDE4 port but also adding some really cool features that at the moment include (all of them not finished yet):</p>
<ul>
<li>Multi core support for faster image loading and thumbnail generation on new computers (<a  href="http://mail.kdab.net/mailman/pipermail/kphotoalbum/2008-September/003806.html">source</a>)</li>
<li>Thumbnail file format change from png to ppm for up to 10 times faster thumbs loading (<a  href="http://mail.kdab.net/mailman/pipermail/kphotoalbum/2008-September/003806.html">source</a>)</li>
<li>Possibility to &#8216;stack&#8217; images: select the best shot of a series and hide the others behind the best one (<a  href="http://kphotoalbum.org/news.html#item0054">source</a>)</li>
<li>EXIF/IPTC/XMP import/export thingy (<a  href="http://kphotoalbum.org/news.html#item0052">source</a>)</li>
<li>SQL database: faster operations. By default uses sqlite so do need to setup database server (<a  href="http://kphotoalbum.org/news.html#item0053">source</a>)</li>
<li>New transparent info box for the image viewer (<a  href="http://kphotoalbum.org/news.html#item0052">source</a> &#8211; check the screenshot)</li>
</ul>

<a  href="http://cia.vc/stats/project/kde/kphotoalbum">Commit stats</a> &#8211; around 70 commits this week so far!</p>
<p>Way to go people! I like you letting us users know what&#8217;s going on and I&#8217;ll be enjoying the new features, mostly the speed-up to generate and load thumbnails!</p>
<p>This is what I call development :)</p>
