KoffeePhoto is a free software that allows you to manage your personal photo library. You can manage your photo albums with KoffeePhoto, and share them with your friends or family very easily. Your albums will be saved on the KoffeePhoto network, which will let you access them anytime and anywhere.

KoffeePhoto allows you to pick your photos on your hard disk or on your camera, and to organize them in albums. Thanks to several ways of sorting your photos, by date, topic, place, person, or any combination of these categories, you will always have an easy way to find all your photos again.

KoffeePhoto saves your whole photo library on its peer-to-peer KoffeePhoto network. This is carried out in a completely seamless way. Your photos are encrypted to ensure confidentiality, and are saved without any loss in quality (no format reduction, no data compression), and no storage expiration date. You can access your photo library from several computers if you wish. In case of any data loss, you can recover your whole photo library very easily!

This is a Photo Library program from Linspire. They developed it for their Linspire Linux Desktop, and then released it under the GNU/GPL.

This is a pretty neat program, the only drawback is that the path where it saves your photos is hardcoded into the program. The best part is that it has an option to turn your photo libraries into (S)VCD and sets them to your favorite music. Very cool!

Was tested on SuSE - 9.2 with no problems.

Installation:

To install just type "python install.py" as root. It is that easy!

Set photo in Kopete is a really simple service menu that just sets the current photo as your photo in Kopete, nothing more, nothing less.

It doesnt handle directories containing space yet, if someone have a workaround so that KURL dont escapes all characters that would be nice=)

Just put this file in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus or use http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11435 to install it.
