The splash images for digikam and showFoto need updating from KDE -> TDE, at the bottom of each image: GIT locations: applications/digikam/digikam/data/pics/digikam-splash.png applications/digikam/digikam/showfoto/pics/showfoto-splash.png Possibly each respective xcf file too, but I'm thinking we delete the xcf files. Thanks! Darrell

That would get rid of the high resolution editable/layered source file. Don't do that! :-) Tim

Perhaps then we need a wiki article how to maintain the xcf files, why we do that, and how to convert to png using our own apps. We should eat our own dog food. I dislike the idea that we need to use gtk apps to maintain our foundations. Just does not set right or feel right. :-) Darrell

There is no TDE application that even comes close to the functionality of the GIMP. While I do understand where you are coming from, what you propose would be like Micro$oft shipping low quality graphics because they refused to use Photoshop internally, instead limiting themselves to Paint. :-) Tim

Darrell, I'll look at them in gimp. The way this works is the .xcf file is the MASTER file. It gets edited, then you can 'export' or 'save a copy' as .png at whatever resolution you need. Gimp is the absolute BEST bitmap graphic tool going - it goes head-to-head with any of the commercial offerings (and wins most of the time) Well worth making friends with. -- David C.

Darrell, The digikam-splash.xcf file is _corrupt_. We will need to find a clean copy. The other xcf, menusidepixmap.xcf is fine. I'll google around. It would make touchup simple to find the actual .xcf. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Darrell, You should have the updated images from my direct mail account. I can't tell if this one is working. If you don't get both the updated .xcf and .png, let me know. I pulled the original .xcf from sourceforge. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I'm confused with everybody playing catch-up after the server outage. * I received the updated digikam splash png and xcf. Thank you! * I did not receive any such files for showfoto. Did you send any? * I sent you links to xcf files from 3.5.10 hosted at my web site. Are those files corrupt? Darrell
