Panorama Tool - Hiding binaries details

  • Brief explanation : The goal is to hide the external binaries table when all the binaries are found on the system. A "Binaries' Details" button should be added, which upon clicked will show the table. If all the binaries are not found on startup, then, the table should be shown by default (can be done by simply generating a pseudo click on the above described button once its implemented). Once it is succesfully implemented here, it can be extended to all kipi-plugins which use external binaries.

Auto Crop Tool

  • Brief explanation: In some users case relevant of photo workflow, as Panorama assembly for example, digiKam need an algorithm to detect black hole borders of image and crop it automatically, respecting the most largest suitable image area. No adjustment must be require by end user. As JPEG is the most used image format used in photography and as JPEG library support a loss-less crop feature, a specific way must be implemented to process JPEG crop in batch without to lose image quality.
