14 DAY TRIAL // digiKam is a photo management application for KDE and Linux that comes with an image editor for photo corrections and manipulation. It's now at version 4.4.0 and brings a couple of interesting features.
The digiKam collection of tools was just updated a couple of weeks ago and it looks like the developers have found a few new features to add and they’ve also managed to fix quite a few issues.
The developers have explained that multi-monitor support has been added for the Slideshow feature and a new keyboard shortcut has been implemented to help users switch the color view for thumbnails on and off.
"New keyboard shortcuts to improve usability while photo review (as to switch focus on text edit widget, or to toggle tags view). It's also possible to navigate between pictures using PageUp/PageDown while editing properties through captions/tags sidebar," also note the devs in the official announcement.
As usual, it will take a while until the application lands in all the repositories, but the KDE repos should already have it.
The complete changelog for digiKam can be found on the official website. You can download digiKam 4.4.0 right now from Softpedia, although you have to keep in mind that this is just the source package.
