--- Comment #6 from Anders Lund <and...@alweb.dk> --- A main cause of grief is the horrible lack of progress information. Today, I had a stack of progress bars claiming "Moving Album ...", bot none showed any progress. There was a technical problem with the drive I moved the files to. Digikam happily deleted my files, leaving me with the issue of recovering them, getting them renamed and figuring out how to rename darktables xmp files too (not solved yet) as well as exported jpeg files (not solved yet). Using Dolphin no file was deleted, when the technical issue with the disk appeared, the progress information helped me solve the problem with no data loss. In earlier events, the lack of proper progress information along with the insanely slow operation (due to the database queries?) of digikam have been an issue as well. Without proper progress information, I give up, and meanwhile digikam appearently just deletes files. I have experienced this at least 3 times. Maybe digikam works for you because you know the internals well. I don't. I don't think there were issues when digiKam was a real KDE app. -- fredag den 19. juni 2020 18.46.18 CEST skrev du: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423227 > > Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |metzping...@gmail.com > > --- Comment #5 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> --- > I can understand that it is annoying for you to lose images.
