This project is now approximately 4.5k loc and has taken me 3+ months of development time..! Since it meets my "photography" needs as it is I decided to pause it once again to concentrate on other projects :P .. Overall it is pretty stable , useful and I have done a good job profiling code and taken performance seriously while building it... If someone wants a particular feature or has a bug fix , etc , you are welcome to add it on the issues tracker so that it may be added or fixed..

You can use the ./get-dependencies.sh script to get the required packages for compiling the project..!

should give you everything you need to build this application using the CMake build system.

To compile the project open a terminal cd to the root of the project and run

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
