DIGIKAM(1)

💖 DIGIKAM 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for digikam — like, from the User Commands section, which is exactly where it belongs because you, a user, are about to command it. it's giving photo-management main character energy and honestly? we're obsessed. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

digikam — digital photo management application

like. that's it. that's the whole name section. digital photo management application. she said what she said. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

digikam [options]

that's the whole vibe. you run digikam, you throw some options at her, she goes. no positional args, no drama, no cap. 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Manage your photographs like a professional, with the power of open source

fr fr. like, professionally. the open source part is not a footnote, it's the whole personality. 💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the part where we get specific, bestie. every single one of these is real, and you're gonna respect all of them. ✨

• -v, --version — displays version information. that's it, that's the whole job. she tells you what version she is. 👑
• -h, --help — displays this help. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, hit the help. 🎀
• --author — show author information. shoutout to the author, genuinely. 💖
• --license — show license information. yes, bestie, you do need to know the license. read it. it's important. 📜
• --desktopfile <file name> — the base file name of the desktop entry for this application. (yes, it's the base file name. not the whole path. don't come for me, that's what the page says. 🙈)
• --download-from <path> — open camera dialog at <path>. you point at a path, she opens the camera dialog right there. simple. slay. 📸
• --download-from-udi <udi> — open camera dialog for the device with Solid UDI <udi>. yes, Solid. yes, UDI. that's the whole deal — you hand her the UDI and she knows which device you mean. 🔥
• --detect-camera — automatically detect and open a connected gphoto2 camera. no arguments, no thinking, she just finds it. lowkey magic. ✨
• --database-directory <dir> — start digikam with the SQLite database file found in the directory <dir>. so like, the SQLite db lives in <dir> and she'll boot up using that one. 🗂️

⚠️ okay quick vibe check: <file name>, <path>, <udi>, and <dir> are all placeholders, bestie. swap in your actual values. don't type the angle brackets literally, that's not the move. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

not a single SEE ALSO reference on this page, which is honestly so valid of her. she's self-contained. she's enough. periodt. 💀

👑 AUTHOR / LICENSE / COPYRIGHT 👑

the page doesn't spell out author or license text beyond the --author and --license flags up there — so if you want the real tea, run digikam --author and digikam --license and let her tell you herself. i'm not gonna invent names, that's not my business and it's not in the source. 🫶

and that's the whole page!! this was digikam 5.3.0, dated November 2016, coming to you from the User Commands manual section. she's a little vintage, she's fully iconic, and she manages your photos. go forth and organize, bestie. 🧚💜
