KimDaBa
Image Database

This is the user manual for KimDaBa - The KDE Image Database. If you are not the type who likes reading documentation, but rather just want to try out things, here are a few alternatives:

- Go to the KimDaBa Homepage, and look at the quick overview plus screen dumps.

- Start KimDaBa, and accepts its offer for a demo (If this is your first time you start it), or go to Help menu and select Run KimDaBa demo. That will load KimDaBa with a number of images, and let you browse around.

If you prefer to print out this document, then you may find it as on long HTML document at KimDaBa's Homepage

## Frequently asked questions

Can I organize my images in multiple directories

As long as all your image directories have a common root, then that is fine. In other words, you are allowed to have a directory three with your images.

Can I move my images around on disk?

Yes, since version 1.1 KimDaBa now stores check sums for each image. Before moving images around, you might want to invoke Maintenance|Recalculate Checksum - this should, however, only be needed if you have modified your images (removed red eyes for example)
