This file is ment to help people get started hacking on digiKam. It will get
|
|
you up to speed on a couple of structures used. We only started to document
|
|
just before digiKam 0.8, so don't expect to much, but whenever you hack some
|
|
please update this file as well.

scanlib
|
|
Scanlib is a library that takes care of scanning the filesystem for new files
|
|
and adds them in the database and checking for missing info in the database so
|
|
that it can be included: if date is empty, it adds the exif or modification
|
|
date (in that order) and the comment to database. If the file is not present
|
|
in the database, make sure to add the file to the database and insert the date
|
|
and comments.

pixmapmanager
|
|
Since there are date based folders, the number of pixmaps which could be
|
|
kept in memory could potentially become too large. The pixmapmanager
|
|
maintains a fixed size cache of thumbnails and loads pixmaps on demand.
