Hello Samuel,
Post by Samuel Kay* How do I easily see the logs produced by KPhotoAlbum. (I have adjust
the log level to QtDebugMsg for kphotoalbum.HTMLGenerator in
HTMLGenerator/HTMLGenerator) Do you use a grep command?
The easiest way is to set the environment variable QT_LOGGING_RULES:
export QT_LOGGING_RULES="kphotoalbum.HTMLGenerator=true"
kphotoalbum
Alternatively, you can also write a logging configuration file, but that's
usually not what you want. The details are explained in the api documentation
for QLoggingCategory[1]
For finding out the possible logging categories, take a look into the
Logging.cpp files in each source directory of kphotoalbum.

Post by Samuel Kay* I don't understand from where the export function get its data. I
need the same input data. Where is the database on this line
Generator.cpp:80
ImportExport::Export exp( m_setup.imageList(), kimFileName( false ),
false, -1, ImportExport::ManualCopy,
destURL + QDir::separator() +
m_setup.outputDir(), true, &ok);
Otherwise, I will use the files in theme/*/kphotoalbum.theme to put some
more data, and tell if the JS database, the HTML index file or the HTML
image file should be generated (this part is nearly working).
The steps for the current HTML export are as follows:
1) The HTMLDialog is shown and fills the fields of a Setup object.
→ the dialog gets a list of selected images
2) Upon clicking "OK", the HTMLDialog calls Generator::generate with the setup
object and the image list
The ideal place to add your code is IMO the Generator class or a new class
like it. You could add a new class based on the Generator class and call that
one from HTMLGenerator::slotOk() instead of the current Generator class.
That way we can easily add an option to choose between the old and the new
export code, and the new Generator is not pushed into the corset of the old
Generator.
What is interesting for integrating your work:
- Does the current html export dialog / the Setup class contain all the
information that you need?
- Are there any fields that you don't need?
I hope that I could clear things up for you. Further questions are always
welcome btw. ;-)
Cheers,
Johannes
