I'm thinking of helping, maybe starting from translation, but not seeing any historical patches not sure if you would allow anyone to submit works for your project? If you do allow, which area do you want to see improved first?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi,
sure, any help is very welcome!
I‘m happy about translations, bug fixes, code improvements, new features, documentation, updated debian packages, ...
Where would you like to support?
What do you think is most important to fix first?
Best regards
Martin

There are multiple things I think needs fixing, one of them is that mapivi seem to fail if the directory name has non-ascii code. If you open ~/Imágenes (Spanish for ~/Images), then Mapivi fails because it tries to open ~/Imágenes instead, which doesn't exist. Furthermore I'd like to see batch processing made easy, such as making batch convertion 10,000 file instead of selecting each one. But one has to start somewhere, so maybe translation. Also do you accept sponsorship? In the "pay for feature" sense?

Just so let you know I don't know how to program in Perl but I'm familiar with tk from tcl. It would be great if there is a way I can work on the technical on top of non-tech translation work, using my existing tcl/tk skill.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Which version of Mapivi are you using? I thought the handling of non ASCII is solved, but as I aviod using such in file and folder names, but I might be wrong
Batch processing is supported for most of the functions.
For which conversion would you like to use it? Where is it missing?
No, I'm not planning any pay per feature work mode.
I usually add features and bug fixes that are requested by the users or by myself when I have some spare time.
I'm not sure what you mean with "technical on top of non-tech translation work"?

Hi,
I still wonder about your request "making batch convertion 10,000 file instead of selecting each one". Mapivi enables to select any number of pictures and start a batch function (rotating, resizing, adding border, adding comment/IPTC info, ...) on all of them.

If you would like to add a translation into a new language, please start with the German translation file (https://sourceforge.net/p/mapivi/code/HEAD/tree/languages/mapivi-lang-de), copy it and rename it to mapivi-lang-xx (xx is the 2 letter language code according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes), replace the German strings with the new translations. You may comment out (using #) the lines which are not yet translated to test early.
Copy the new file to the language folder of mapivi and select the language in the options dialog. After a restart of Mapivi the new translations should show up.
