NAME

       digikam - digital photo management application for KDE

SYNOPSIS

       digikam [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [--detect-camera]

DESCRIPTION

       Digikam is an easy to use and powerful digital photo management application, which makes importing, organizing and editing digital photos a
       "snap".	An easy to use interface is provided to connect to your digital camera, preview the images and download and/or delete them.

       Digikams buildin image editor makes the common photo correction a simple task.  The image editor is extensible via  plugins.   The  digikam
       package contains already many useful image editor plugins.

       Digikam	can  also  make  use  of the KIPI image handling plugins to extend it's capabilities even further for photo manipulations, im- and
       export, etc.  The kipi-plugins package contains many very useful extentions.

   Options:
       --detect-camera
	      Automatically detect and open picture download dialog. Note: autodetection does not work with cameras that  claim  to  be  USB  mass
	      storage devices.

       --download-from	<path>
	      Open camera dialog at <path>. Use this with cameras that export their pictures as USB mass storage.  KDE automounts the camera stor-
	      age, if the path given as, e.g., system:/media/<dir> or media:/<dir>
