KPhotoAlbum is software for viewing and organising images. It lets you index, search, group and view images by keywords, date, locations and persons. It also provides a quick and elegant way to look up groups of images when you have thousands of pictures on your hard disk.
The information associated with each photo is stored in an XML file. Together with its keywords, KPhotoAlbum stores each picture’s MD5 sum, so it will recognize them even if they are moved to another directory. KPhotoAlbum can also create HTML galleries with the images you select.
KPhotoAlbum can also make use of the KIPI image handling plugins to extend its capabilities. The kipi-plugins package contains many useful extensions. Among others, it contains extensions for photo manipulation, importing, exporting and batch processing.
