I have extensive experience with computers-have programmed in multiple languages, managed software development projects (proprietary business software, not commercial software), and about 25 years ago managed a Unix box for a research group as a grad student, so I am more nimble than the average user, although less than a pro-Linux geek. My system was still bootable, but one needed to have a CD in the drive or do something else that I can't remember to get Windows to boot. Several years ago, the dual booting installation software corrupted my boot sector and all attempts at repair failed. Three weeks ago after setting up Ubuntu on a memory stick and dual booting a laptop from the stick, I found that Windows had to repair the operating system of the laptop. My experience with setting up a dual boot Linux-Windows system is that it is a time sync. I’m sure there is a way, but with a decent piece of software you can figure this out in 30 seconds.ĭual boot is a bad solution, unless you need dual boot for some other purpose or enjoy experimenting. No easily intuitive way of looking at the Exif information for a photo. You instead go to the configuration menu and create a new collection. –You cannot just add a new album to the, except as a subfolder to the existing album. I had to search on the internet to find how to get the menu. Right clicking on the toolbar gives you no help. –When I started up the program the standard menu did not appear. ![]() After some installs and re-installs, I believe what may have happened is that it was trying to catalog my images, but was not showing me any indication of that.Ħ) The interface is confusing and intuitive. Even if you have an account set up on the bug reporting service, when you go through the steps it ends with an error message that you are not logged into their server.ģ) The program crashes when you select import images.Ĥ) Upon first usage the program appeared to freeze on me. Ģ) The bug reporting facility does not even work. For example trying to search for all jpegs that I rated with 4 stars freezes. Some of my findings:ġ) Mysterious crashes and features that don’t work. The usual features you might expect from such an app are all available with Digikam sorting with tags, editing the metadata, so on. It works on all operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows. I tried it on Windows 7, 64 bit system with 24GB memory. Digikam is a free and open-source digital photo organizer for PCs. Are reviewers just looking at feature lists without trying it? It is loaded with features and missing quality. ![]() I cannot believe that people “reviewing” this piece of software have actually used it. My experience with Digikam has been very negative. I would recommend against Digikam for Windows and against using in a dual boot system.
