    FAQ

    Please see our full FAQ wiki article.

    KPhotoAlbum on Windows

    You can compile KPhotoAlbum on Windows using Cygwin. The current details can be found on the page KPhotoAlbum on Windows.

    KPhotoAlbum on Live systems like Knoppix

    You can use an image file (or create your own) which integrates KPA in a Knoppix CD/DVD if KPA is missing there. The details can be found on the page KPhotoAlbum on Knoppix.

    Extending KPhotoAlbum

    Image::Kimdaba is a perl module available on CPAN which parses the ''index.xml'' database.

    With Kimdaba2Mysql it's possible to:

    • insert your index.xml metadata into a mysql-database
    • generate a search-formular on your website with your kimdaba-keywords, example here

    Note that KPhotoAlbum 3 supports MySQL and SQLite databases for storing image data.

    • Patches and features awaiting approval or implementation - Please use bugs.kde.org for that.


    With pse3tokimdaba.pl it's possible to extract information from your Photoshop Elements 3 database to create an index.xml file. There are quite a few limitations, see the above page for more details.

    djKPA is a Django web site designed to be the web interface of your KPA photo's repository.

Nevertheless, djKPA is a real interactive application that allows your visitors to vote, post comments, show exif, ... and visit your photos by browsing the your Tags.

    Change log:

    0.9: several bug fixes facilitating the extract and insert.
    better links into the tag cloud
    0.8: initial public release
