Interfacing with KimDaBa (KPhotoAlbum)
I hope that this is the right forum for this. If not, could a mod please move this thread to a more appropriate forum?
This question presupposes knowledge of KimDaBa/KPhotoAlbum. I need to interface with it's built-in export/import facilities.
I need to import 5 gigs of pictures that I have taken over the years to KimDaBa / KPhotoAlbum. The photos have the people/place/keywords info in IPTC tags and I can access the IPTC info via php. I want to create .kim files to import the data automatically. I have no problem creating the index.xml files and then zipping them. However, when I try to import them to KimDaBa I get this error:
Export file did not contain a Thumbnails subdirectory, this indicates that the file is broken.
The index.xml file looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<KimDaBa-export location="external" >
<image md5sum="8d5345a91111ef5cefb577debe4adcc4" file="dotan.jpg">
<options>
<option name="Keywords" >
<value value="beer" />
</option>
<option name="Locations" >
<value value="Haifa" />
<value value="Hatzafon" />
</option>
<option name="Persons" >
<value value="Ety" />
<value value="Dotan" />
</option>
</options>
</image>
</KimDaBa-export>
What must I add to the file / to the zip to have KimDaBa recognize it? Is there a better way to go about this?
Thank you.
