1. Introduction

QPhoto is a program for linux handhelds (e.g. iPaq) that allows the user to preselect digital photographs directly from the flashdisk of the digital camera.

It is based on QTopia 1.5.0 from trolltech and uses the libjpeg to access the jpeg pictures my camera (and most I believe) does generate.

The goal is to reduce the memory storage on the flashdisk by deleting that files, which are not nice. The other ones can either be stored in an other directory on the same flashdisk, or via the handhelds ramdisk onto another flashdisk.

The last option will not be ready until I need it for my australia trip. But as I own 3 128MByte cards, that should be ok to use the single disk method.

The program is quite usable, but sometimes blows the handhelds memory. If the pictures are too large (e.g. above 1.4 MByte of jpeg), sometimes the pictures cannot be read any more with the 3650 (which has 32 MByte of RAM where 16MByte are uses as ramfs).

The following figure shows qphoto in action.

The future will show, what is necessary to add, but here are the next goals. Suggestions are welcome.

1.3 Download

You can download ipgs from my homepage.

The actual documentation contains only the installation process. Also the ipkg directory on my homepage is still not existing. I will work on that tomorrow.
