KPhotoAlbum 5.10.0 released

Tuesday, 28 March 2023 | KPhotoAlbum News

We're happy to announce the new release 5.10.0 of KPhotoAlbum, the KDE photo management program!

The ChangeLog for this version is as follows:


Changed

  • View-related actions formerly found in the "Settings" menu were moved to the "View" menu.
  • Make options "Display Labels in Thumbnail View" and "Display Categories in Thumbnail View" reachable via the "View" menu and allow both actions to be assigned keyboard shortcuts (Implements: #145346).
  • Store the untagged tag information inside the index.xml file instead of the Settings (Implements: #461206).
  • Change scroll direction in the annotation dialog's date edit fields to match common (western) expectations and the date picker.
  • Prevent scrolling past the occupied areas of the date bar.
  • Files are now always created with group read/write permissions (Fixes: #438128).
  • When exiting the demo mode, the demo database is now always saved if it isn't deleted.

Dependencies

  • CMake: 3.18
  • Qt5: 5.15
  • KDE Frameworks: 5.78

Fixed

  • Improve readability of "Show Tooltips in Thumbnails Window" tooltip.
  • Fix image selection order for newly added images (Fixes: 442325).
  • Improve date bar behavior when zooming the date bar and changing views (Fixes: 357237).

Removed

  • Default shortcut for "View" images was removed.
    Pressing "Enter" to open the viewer is now the preferred way. To restore the old behavior, reassign the shortcut via "Settings | Configure Keyboard Shortcuts...".

Thanks to everybody having contributed to this release! The authors were (according to git log and in alphabetical order):

  • Christophe Giboudeaux
  • Tobias Leupold
  • Luigi Toscano
  • Johannes Zarl-Zierl

Have a lot of fun with the new version!
