RFS: albumshaper - a drag and drop photo album manager



Dear mentors,

i've prepared a package of Album Shaper downloadable from
http://neuron.tuke.sk/~kupec/filez/albumshaper/
Album Shaper has been filed as RFP (Bug#277861) for a few months (i've
already retitled it as an ITP).

DESCRIPTION:
Album Shaper is a nice looking, drag and drop photo organizer, with
simple GUI, based on Qt3 (KDE is not needed as stated in the wishlist
bug report). The main features are: drag&drop organizaton of images into
and within collections, photo descriptions, basic image manipulation
(rotation, flipping, cropping to predefined and custom sizes, automatic
and manual contrast and color balance adjustion, bluring/sharpening, few
effects,...), and saves the albums as HTML web galeries with XML
desciption file for further updates to saved albums. It supports themes
for the generated HTML. It's fast and stable.

WHY IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED:
It is not web based, it does not need PHP nor database. I was looking
for such an app for quite a long time and this was the best what i found
even at the time of version 1.0 (it's 2.0 at the time). AFAIK there is
only one similar program in Debian called Lodju, compared to which is
Album Shaper a far better piece. Other album makers are either web based
or console tools.


LICENCE: GNU GPL

PACKAGE:
It is my first package, so i played a little with it to be linda/lintian
clean and to see what's packaging all about, so there are three builds
at the above location. I added "Closes: bug#277861" to the changelog of
the third build.
I intend to maintain this package for a long time.
