KPhotoAlbum 5.8.1 released
July 11, 2021
We're happy to annouce a new release of KPhotoAlbum, the KDE photo management software! It's version number is 5.8.1. The reason we skipped 5.8.0 is simply that i messed up the release, but the tag was already published – so I had to immediately tag another one ;-)
The new version includes (from the ChangeLog):
- Enhancement: The "Copy to/Move to" action (triggered by pressing F7/F8) can now be run both from the browser and the viewer, using the same interface and caching the same last target directory
- Change: Search field no longer gets focus by default (you can press '/' to focus)
- Enhancement: Improve focus switching behavior when using Tab/Shift-Tab
- Enhancement: Add freeform text search to thumbnail view (Implements #321502)
- Enhancement: UI improvements for MapView
- Enhancement: Performance improvement when many thumbnails are shown in the MapView
- Enhancement: Allow relative local URLs in "Open list of files" dialog
- Enhancement: Add option "--vacuum" to kpa-thumbnailtool
- Bugfix: Fix searching for label (introduced in version 5.4.1)
- Bugfix: Make splash screen text readable with dark themes
- Bugfix: Fix crash in context menu of full-screen preview of annotation dialog
- Change: Start maximized on first startup
- Change: Click behavior for overview page now honors system-preference for double- or single-click
