KPhotoAlbum (formerly known as KimDaBa, KDE Image Database) is a tool for indexing, searching, and viewing images and videos. The indexing is done by telling KPhotoAlbum who is on the images, where the images were taken, and (optionally) adding descriptions. It is highly optimized for easy indexing of images, so that it is possible to use it with thousands of images. It also allows you to browse your images easily, based on the properties (person, location, keywords) you specified when indexing.

Recent releases


Changes: This relrease works on KDE 4.


Changes: This release is capable of categorizing and showing videos. Sub-categories are now shown as hierarchies in the browser and in the annotation dialog. In the annotation dialog, it is possible to put an item into a sub-category simply by dragging it in there. There are several other new features and bugfixes.


Changes: This is the first release of the software formerly known as KimDaBa under the new name, KPhotoAlbum. Among the new features are EXIF support (including the possibility to search for EXIF data) and a new thumbnail viewer.


Changes: This release introduces a date bar that shows statistics about images, plus support browsing, and narrowing views to a given date range. The date bar shows ranges from a year per unit down to 10 minutes per unit. As a consequence of the date bar being introduced, all thumbnails are now shown together, rather than as 100 thumbnails per view. In the viewer, it is now possible to press a key to set a token. These tokens can then be used during browsing. This makes it easy to mark all images for, say, printing, by simply setting a token on each of them and then later browsing for that token.


Changes: The most noticeable change is the new plugin structure (KIPI), which was created together with the Digikam and Gwenview team. The three applications now share a common plugin structure, which makes it possible to write a plugin which works with all three application. It is now possible to not only share your images with your friend, but also using the new import/export functionality (sho is on the image, where is it taken, etc).
