Photos to Calendars

A cute example of the usefulness of the iCalendar protocol is included in the new version 1.5 of JiCal.

Photo2ICal gives you the ability to extract photo shot dates and render them to iCalendar as well as renaming the photo files to reverse date / time for easy recognition later.

Doing this means that in Korganiser, when you view the iCalendar created, all your photos appear as events in the calendar on the 'attachments' tab of the events view. KDE is clever enough to let you double-click and view the images as well. You can obviously edit the events and update what was happening. Basically you end up with a nice diary of your life and perhaps your childrens too. Thats what I'm using it for!
