The 5th KDE4 beta release of digiKam plugins box is out.
With this new release, a new plugin named SmugExport is born. It's dedicated to export images to SmugMug web service.
A plugin is available to batch convert RAW camera images to Adobe DNG container (see this Wikipedia entry for details). To be able to compile this plugin, you need last libkdcraw from svn trunk (will be released with KDE 4.2). To extract libraries source code from svn, look at this page for details.
