IntiPunku

Rewrite

2011-04-14T10:10:00.000-07:00

Finally I never made a new release, but i decided to make a rewrite in Qt. It will have a very stable base, all other features are implemented through plugins: filters, tools, import/export plugins, etc.

Why Qt?
Qt is a more complete set, it provides 2d animations and is more platform independent.

The name will also be changed, but I am not sure yet.

The new app will be full with new features, more stable, better looks, will run on any system.

Check for updates, work is already in progress.

News

Sorry for the little activity lately. I was graduating at the university and moving to a new country. Soon I will bring out a new release.

Version 0.6 nearby

2010-02-24T06:56:00.000-08:00

I almost got the final features of intipunku 0.6 running stable.
New features include:
- full support for geotagging
- browse photos on the map instead of a table
- improved appearence
- support for overriding system themes, like for the dust theme it will show a black toolbar
- when selecting multiple photos it will automatically configure a transitional background on gnome. In the settings you can configure the duration of each photo. Currently it only works on gnome, but KDE and others could be implemented later on.
- intipunku has become fully threaded. At first intipunku ran everything only in two threads, the main thread (interface) and a thread scanning your photos every 5 seconds. An activity manager has now been introduced that takes care of other threads. For example, you may want to continue browsing photos while creating a panorama, before that was not posible, now the activity manager just puts the panorama creation in the background. The same counts for uploading photos to picasaweb albums. Other functions still need to be recoded to use the activity manager.

Regards,

Mark

geotagging

2010-02-15T08:15:00.000-08:00

Geotagging is a feature that has been implemented in intipunku already for a couple of months. However, I never completed the feature. Currently, I have been made some good progress finishing geotagging and implementing a mapview. From the mapview, you can manage your photos just as in the map/tag view, however, you will be managing them from the earths map!

After completing the geotagging function, I believe it is time for intipunku to become mature. Intipunku is considerably the photomanager that offers the most amount of features any photo managing program has. However in some ways it has been unstable and features are not fine-tuned. Therefore it is now of great concern to improve this so that intipunku is ready to conquer the linux desktop. The community would be of great help, use the launchpad page to file feature request and bugs!

Intipunku runs also on win32 and osx (amazingly) however I decided due to time limitations that focus will now primarily go to linux. Linux is the only desktop people should run in the first place! Windows distributions of intipunku sometimes do not run on vista or windows 7 and I am not motivated to buy all these windows versions. The OSX gtk port is still unstable and does not integrate well with the system. The auther of the port has sort of stopped maintaining the project and therefore intipunku cannot rely on it anymore, maybe one day i will continue.

release 0.54

2009-11-16T13:40:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I released 0.54 for Ubuntu Karmic. This release is basically a bug fix release, something ceased to work.

Since I am very busy, I only uploaded the karmic deb. If you want to have to latest code, do a code checkout and build it yourself ;) Sorry for the discomfort.

Progress

2009-08-24T04:02:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since some activity. However many things have been going on in the intipunku development.
* MacOSX release is improving, I still did not get video to play under OSX so this remains a blocker for it's release.
* A new feature is getting form, geotagging. The basic functionanilty work and photos can get geotagged and being displayed on a map. I m still figuring out how to integrate things nice and graphically.
* Bugs are continued to get fixed.

Due to mayor new feature the next intipunku release will be 0.60

Greetings,

Mark

0.52

2009-07-16T02:26:00.001-07:00

Dear people,

I released 0.52. This is mainly a bugfix release, however I implemented a small feature, lossless rotation. Enable it in preferences and install jpegtran (libjpeg-progs i think).

Greetings,

Mark

Hardy support dropped

2009-07-11T04:54:00.000-07:00

I have don't be able to compile the required dependencies of intipunku for hardy and since I have no hardy installation but the hardy ppa, the work has gotten too difficult.

I'm sorry hardy user, you will have to compile the required packages yourself.

Greetings

Bugfixes intipunku 0.51

2009-07-10T02:26:00.000-07:00

I fixed some annoying bugs in 0.5 with the bugrelease of 0.51.
Check it!

(intipunku.berlios.de)

0.5 released

2009-07-07T07:55:00.000-07:00

Dear people,

I have released 0.5.
Intipunku has gotten really different, tons of new features.
For debian/ubuntu users an installer is no more needed, intipunku itself configures the apt database to install necessary dependencies.

Unfortunately for fedora, suse, mandriva and other distro this feature will not work. In the future I will work on that, however i could use the help of packagers and programmers from those distros.

Download it while it's hot:

more 0.5 progress

2009-04-04T20:02:00.000-07:00

In January i said 0.5 release could be close, however i broke my computer and had to go on a long trip (on which I am still), so i could not finish the work. In June i will release 0.5. In the meantime i will keep working when i have time. Latest features are:
* Rewrite of slideshows
* Some gui changes, so it looks good in netbook
* Some more, but i can't remember

greetings,

Mark

0.5 progress

2009-01-18T16:53:00.000-08:00

A lot of things have been going on in the source. I added many extra filter and improved algorythms.
We can now play videos from the editor, no editing of video, but who knows in the future.
You can make collages, a pile and popart.

0.5 Release could be close.

Intipunku 0.4 final!

2008-12-03T05:04:00.001-08:00

Intipunku 0.4 is out.

Many new features, more stability. What can I say Intipunku is maturing.

For debian and ubuntu users i have written a new installer. I may be a bit buggy, be sure to have no errors in the apt database and close all apt using programs. If it hangs, close it and try it again.

Mac users, this is the first release for Mac, please report bugs, on the issue page on the website there are instructions how to do this.

Thanks for everyone that have contributed to this release,

Mark

Intipunku 0.4 pre3 released

2008-11-22T16:07:00.000-08:00

This is the last pre-release before 0.4 final.

Highlights: some very important bugfixes. Many exif data have copied wrong in previous version, but now it should be fixed.

Although new features should not be added anymore I will do some anyway for the final release:
- Automatic import of raw photos. They will be detected and converted to tiff or jpeg
- Version notify, when a new version is released it will notify upon startup

It just implemented a plugin interface. You can try it out by add .iep files in the data/plugin directory of the source. there is one already documented which you could change.

Also be aware that i almost moved everything to launchpad the google svn is not used anymore.

Thoughts for the 0.4

2008-08-25T02:45:00.000-07:00

Been a while since i have done anything with the project. However, i'm currently planning features for the newest version.
For sure i will implement:
- Timeline like in f-spot
- Export to swf movie (you will be able to export to a swf slideshow, so you can put it on websites and stuff).
- Move default ajustments. Currently we have auto-contrast, equalize and sepia. This will be:
* Autocontrast
* Equalize
* Sepia
* Winter
* Summer
* Autumn
* And more i will come up with
- Ability to add comments to photos
- I will support more types, jpg, png, tiff, gif.

Is any feature missing please inform me!

0.3 Released!

2008-06-25T06:10:00.000-07:00

I have released the latest version of Intipunku.

Thanx translators for your contribution. Intipunku now is available in various languages: catalan, spanish, dutch, swedish, italian, german, french and russian.
Under windows in the installer you have to pick the language, this will set the user variable LANG to the supported language.

Currently there are only binaries for ubuntu and window$. Soon i expect other pages.

Any bug please report at the issue page: http://code.google.com/p/intipunku/issues/list; I receive emails of changes in this list, so i can reply as soon as posible.

Thanx for your interest in Intipunku.

2008-06-16T15:47:00.000-07:00

All translations are now done through launchpad. Regularly i will upload a new message.pot so you can update all other translations.
Currently i have done the translations of spanish, dutch and catalan for 100% enjoy.

0.3 Pre 3

2008-05-30T08:37:00.000-07:00

People, I suppose that this is the last pre version. I did basically all the features. Some important things, you can now use the viewer only with the intipunku-viewer command, it should also appear under nautilus. You can also use intipunku-import for the import wizard, in settings it can be configured as the default importer for cameras. Many other improvements have been done and such. Try it out on the download page.

Notice, I really need translators. The work is simple and not to hard.

About the name

2008-05-26T07:12:00.001-07:00

The project is named IntiPunku this is Aymara/Quechua for Sun Gate. Intipunku is a gate in the lost city of Tiahuanacu, considerably the oldest city known to men. However it is not a very known place, neither is the country is it is in (Bolivia). In my opinion the country lacks interest of the world and therefore research to recover and find out what happened at Tiahuanacu. To promote the interest in the cause I named the project Sun Gate (Inti Punku).

If you'd like to read more, the internet is full of information. I recommend this blog: http://fallencreature.wordpress.com/genesis-files/tiahuanacu-ancient-seaport-25-miles-above-sea-level-oldest-city-on-earth/

0.3 coming

2008-05-25T07:59:00.000-07:00

The newest version of Intipunku is almost ready. I can almost say the program has changed completely. It has gotten more mature. It is more user friendly, more stable and more feature rich. I have added various filters than can enhance you photos significantly.
The project is up2date translated in English, Catalan, Spanish and Dutch, since nobody is helping me in the project i can only translate to the languages that i know sufficiently.
After 0.3 I will add more features and bugfixes, however i must say with the release of 0.3 the project base has been set.
Before the project was intended to be a clone of Picasa, however i feel that project has gone beyond the funcionality of any photo manager. Therefore i also work on port for windows, it is a pain it the ass, since Intipunku depends on various unix only programs. I did manage to create ports of all of them fortunately, including gphoto2!!!

Apt repository

2008-04-23T13:34:00.000-07:00

Thx

Project is alive!!

2008-04-21T08:46:00.000-07:00

Since I have not made any release lately, people might think the project is dead. However this is absolutely not the case. I am just waiting to get some user, so i have motivation continueing development. I use the project daily, so i will keep developing.
Planned features for 0.3 release are:
- improved picasaweb album support
- create panoramas (now in svn!)
- import photos from camera
- Fix annoying bugs (in particular, the program doesnt start if it doesnt understand a file)
