--- Comment #2 from Daniel Danner <mf-bugs.kde....@danner.de> ---
I'm sorry if this has already been discussed before. I've tried my best to find
open issues here or anything on the Internet, but the only thing that came up
was this forum post, where a user most likely had the exact same problem but
couldn't figure it out themselves:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/hidden-items-in-album-that-should-not-be-hidden/3434
(and neither did anybody reading it, apparently)

I understand that I can disable it (and I did), but that's not really the
point. What's problematic here is that once enabled, its behavior is so opaque,
that even if I had *just* enabled the feature, I'd have no idea whatsoever that
*this* is what I signed up for. Outside of one occurrence in the help text, the
entire settings page doesn't even speak of "hiding" or "hidden items" at all.

I can imagine that moving the originals is tricky. Keeping it simple, there are
still other avenues for mitigating this. For instance, assuming that there is
currently no other mechanism for hiding items (I didn't find one while
desperately searching for an unhide button), the status bar could simply say
something like "42 old versions hidden" instead. This would already make a huge
difference, giving people a chance to discover the corresponding settings page.

And just to mention it: Offering a menu action for temporarily revealing hidden
items and thus opening a path for navigating to their current versions would of
course be ideal, but presumably much more effort.
