KPHOTOALBUM(1) General Commands Manual KPHOTOALBUM(1)
NAME
kphotoalbum -- KDE tool for indexing, searching and viewing images by keywords.
SYNOPSIS
kphotoalbum [--demo] [-c file] [--import file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the kphotoalbum command.
KDE Image Database (kphotoalbum) lets you index, search, group and view images by keywords, date, locations and persons. It provides a
quick and elegant way to lookup groups of images when you have thousands of pictures on your hard disk.
The information associated with each photo is stored in an XML file. Together with its keywords, kphotoalbum stores each picture's MD5
sum, so it will recognize them even if you move them to another directory.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Below are the kphotoalbum-spe-
cific options. For a full summary of options, run kphotoalbum --help-all.
--help-all
Show all options, including generic KDE and Qt options.
-c file Load alternate config file.
--demo Starts KPhotoAlbum with a prebuilt set of demo images.
--import file
Import database file. KPhotoAlbum allows you to export a set of your images into a .kim file, which other people may import into
their database, to get your classification for these images. This option allows you to import an external .kim file into kPho-
toAlbum.
SEE ALSO
digikam (1).
Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Center. You can also enter the URL help:/kphotoalbum/ directly into kon-
queror or you can run helpcenter help:/kphotoalbum/ from the command-line.
If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can read this documentation in HTML format from /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kphotoalbum/.
