Kooka moved out of KDE Graphics
|
|
July 13, 2007
|
Kooka was dropped from the
kdegraphics module for KDE 4. The reason for this
is the lack of active development and maintenance for long time.
However, there have been discussions around that, for example around this
dot.kde.org story.
It was somebody speaking up interested in carrying on Kooka development.
If you are a friend of Kooka, cross fingers, might be that development
continues.
If you are willing to help, please drop a note!
The libkscan remains in the kdegraphics module. That means that scanning
will be available for KDE 4 for these applications that use the libkscan.
Check out how that works in the API documentation for the KScanDialog
class on api.kde.org. The KScanDialog
is part of the KIO subsection of the libs.

Kooka version 0.44 is a slightly enhanced standalone version of the
Kooka that came with the latest KDE 3.2.1.
It uses Ocrad as default
ocr engine, because the results of ocrad are very good (given a good scan ;) and
it supports layout detection. Kooka 0.44 provides a user interface including layout
detection selection for ocrad.

The new Kooka version 0.41a is mainly a bugfix release for version 0.41.
It fixes a bug that prevented Kooka to work with the recently released
version 0.5 of Ocrad.
Moreover it fixes a serious bug in the thumbnail list handling.
Download
kooka-0.41a.tar.bz2 version from
here via FTP.
Kooka Version 0.41 implemented support with ocrad first, this was done
and tested with ocrad version 0.4. Short before Kooka 0.41 was released,
ocrad came up in version 0.5. There were minor changes in the ORF file export
which broke Kooka's parser. This is fixed in Kooka 0.41a.
Another bug that was fixed caused crashes in the thumbview module. When
changing very fast between different directories in the gallery, the job
list management in the thumbview module crashed.

This new version makes Kooka supporting three different OCR engines: gocr, an open
source program, KADMOS, a commercial ocr library and now ocrad, which
is new.
Image printing was implemented KDE standard complient as an additional
tab in the KDE Printing Dialog. Special image printing settings can
be adjusted in the dialog page. Kooka supports printing
- in screen resolution
- printing in real size (calculated from the scan resolution
and the printer resolution)
- custom print size
- to fit exactly on a page.
Large images are printed on multiple papers with usefull cut edges.
Bugfixes went especially into tiff image handling and scan source
selection.
