I'm exploring kde4 again. I have family in from out of town. With my fancy new digital camera, I have taken several hundred photos over the past few months, and I looked at some of them from the past few days.
Using the new dolphin file manager, I expected the very nice kde3 konqueror style display, but when I clicked on a picture, a new (to me, at least) program, showFoto, popped up, which not only shows the picture, but shows all the exif information from the file.
Wow! I had no idea so much information was carried in a digital photo file. I can foresee being able to use the exif info to improve my photography substantially. And having the time-stamp will help in keeping things organized. That's been an occasional problem in the past when I copied photos to a cd and lost the file system time stamp.
I see showFoto identifies itself as showFoto/kde3, even though I'm on kde4. I'll check with yast to see if I have a kde4 version available.
Thanks to the kde team! I preferred the old visuals, but this is nice, too, and the function seems to be better.

Digikam in KDE3 has been showing all the EXIF information for a long time. I haven't looked at showFoto, yet. -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.0, Kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-default, KDE 3.5.9 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
