Small Projects to Introduce Students

libjpeg-turbo detection

Auto-Lens correction tool don't work in BQM

Keyboard Tagging Improvements

  • Patch to review : http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/108382/
  • Assigned to : Saurabh Patel
  • Note : author keyboard workflow need to be understood and tested. It miss some menu entries to make shortcuts visible to end users.
  • Status : Pending

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 start-up, 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 successfully implemented here, it can be extended to all kipi-plugins which use external binaries.
  • Knowledge Prerequisite : C++, Qt
  • Assigned to : Nishita Tanwar
  • Status : Pending

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.
  • Dependencies: Batch Queue Manager, Image Editor.

Repositories Branching and Dates

Branches Creation and Maintenance

  • To create remote working branches in KDE git repository, please look on this tutorial from KDE TechBase.
  • During GSoC 2013 coding time, git/master will still the stable implementation receiving important fixes. A development branch must be sync with git/master periodically. To do it, see below as example how to sync digiKam "gsoc2013" branch tracking "remotes/origin/development/gsoc2013" from KDE git repository:
$>git checkout master
$>git pull --rebase
$>git checkout -b gsoc2013 remotes/origin/development/gsoc2013
  Branch gsoc2013 set up to track remote branch development/gsoc2013 from origin.
  Switched to a new branch 'gsoc2013'
$>git merge master
  Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy.
  ...
$>git push

The 2 first lines take a sure that your local master repository is up to date. The 3rd line create in local the "gsoc2013" development branch. Merge between master and gsoc2013 branch is done with 4th line. Git can ask you to resolve conflicts here. When it's done, it will ask you a commit comment. Finally push your merge into remote KDE repository.

Note: If you have already created gsoc2013 branch, just run "git checkout gsoc2013" as well instead git checkout -b gsoc2013 remotes/origin/development/gsoc2013. This give this concatened command line: 

$>git checkout master; git pull --rebase; git checkout gsoc2013; git pull; git merge master
  ...
$>git push
