As a pure IPTC editor, Photini is in my estimation unsurpassed. My usual workflow is to use a viewer to select the picture I'm likely to use, toss it to the GIMP for tuning, open the new version in the viewer for caption editing and making sure the credit stuff is as it should be, then send it off to the publisher. So the viewer in many respects is the hub of the whole process. The IPTC packages available are all either something I have or something I've tried and found wanting. At the moment, the Trinity version of Gwenview is as close to ideal as I can find, and it would be closer still if I didn't have to dance through a bunch of menus to edit the IPTC stuff, which is needed by most publishing software. (The KDE version of Gwenview that I tried installed okay but its plugins weren't recognized by it, Trinity, or something -- anyway, they didn't work,) I tried an older version of gThumb and it blew up initially; installed a lot of dependencies and it still blew up; took a while to back out of. One of the problems with much development at Gnome and KDE is that when something gets perfected, they keep hacking away at it until it's not good for anything anymore. I sometimes think their singular goal is one good screenshot. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
