I recently installed Xandros 4.1 OCE and noticed that it did not appear to have digikam as part of the package. I don't think that 3.02 OCE came out without digikam. One of the first additions that I made to 4.1 OCE was Synaptic. I used that to install k3b and digikam. Now, all is well.

"Ehh, what's up, JIM?"

Here is an usable "Digi-deb" for download (and other stuff also):
ftp://boisson.homeip.net/sarge/sarge/digikam_0.8.0-1-1_i386.deb
Using it myself...

digikam is in the repositories under Synaptic and that is what I used. Working fine. By the way, I notice you over on my other forum too.

Dont know whos the other "Doctore" is over at PCLOS Forum.
The "CrAzY FiN" is only registered at Xandros...

Anyway, did you check which version you have? Version 0.7 is available
from"Debian Unsupported Site". When having "Premium membership" the
newer "Xandros" version should probably be available.

I think Photo Manager is available to everyone.
Just do a quick search for it in XN.

Is there any way to get the later versions of Digikam? I have version 0.72, as have some others if these posts are accurate. I tried to download more updated versions from the geekconnection repo, but I got a "broken packages" error. It would be nice to get at least the 0.8 series of Digikam, unless for some reason that messes up the Xandros-specific customizations (are there any for Digikam?).

I'd appreciate any thoughts on this from our many "experts" in this forum---thanks! DR

It worked this time! I had been trying to update from the standard view............ when I tried the version of Digikam in "expert view", it installed version 0.80---much better! The "plugins" from there did not install (broken packages again), but maybe they're not needed with the higher version.

Thanks for your help........... DR

I'd certainly be interested in a new Photo Manager package. The newer versions support my wife camera, the currant Xandros version does not. We get around it by using a card reader, but it would be nice to just plug in the camera and load straight into Photo Mgr. Very Happy

digikam_0.8.0-1-1_i386.deb is the current version on geekconnection.org.

Add this to your sources:

Hi, i tryed yesterday to install the latest version of Digikam on my Eee Pc, everything seemed to be ok but when i tape Digikam in the console to start the software, it's photomanager who appear!
and it's not the same. I'd like to have a software to edit my pictures and to put IPTC informations. So with Digikam it would be great but i don't know what's happened.
I 'm newbee in Linux so if someone could help me to make Digikam work on my Eee Pc?
Thanks a lot
Cyril

Hi cyrilb and welcome to "Xandros" forum.

Use "Album" > "Import" function and import an picture/folder of pictures
into "DigiKam" (PhotoManager), just doubleclick on the/an picture and
start editing the picture/s with the inbuilt "Image Editor".
