KPhotoAlbum

You may download KPhotoAlbum from KDE's Subversion-repository.

To learn how to check KPhotoAlbum out from Subversion, you can visit KDE's explanation or follow the steps below.

Please remember when you do that, you get the bleeding edge, and it might not work, or it might work badly. Of course the advantage is that you get all the features that are yet not in the released version.

See the Changes file in the kphotoalbum subdirectory for information about latest changes.
