![]() I can drag them into another folder of digikam, and that offers me a pop menu - do I want to move or copy? I can also cancel this if I realise it's not what I want to do. I can also drag them to Caja, but then I have to be really careful. If I just let go (expecting the move/copy prompt), then it just goes right ahead and moves the pictures out of digikam, which is absolutely awful. The photos are gone from digikam, I lose what folders they were in, I lose what tags they had, and there's no confirmation. I have to spend ages moving the photos back where they came from, trying really hard not to lose any, and even then the tags are gone. I guess the file timestamps are destroyed too but I guess that's not so important. It's just a right royal pain, depending on how many photos there were and how many different folders, and how jumbled the filenames were. Ok, so now I know that I have to hold the Ctrl key down when I drag, but still the mouse can accidentally let go before I press the key (I can only press the Ctrl after I start dragging, otherwise it deselects the photo I drag with). Maybe there's another mechanism for copy/paste from digikam to the file system which is more reliable? Some kind of export with a plain copy? Maybe I can configure digikam to confirm before moving files like this, so I can say "cancel"? (I already have "confirm when moving to wastebin" and "confirm when permanently deleting") Maybe I can configure digikam to temporarily "lock" the photo database to prevent any accidental changes to the files? Maybe I can use something other than caja which handles the drop bit of the drag-and-drop better? Does anyone know a better way of doing this? The whole thing just seems fragile and error-prone, and there must be a way to make this less painful. ![]() I'm guessing one popular response might be "don't use digikam with Maté", but I like both so that's tricky to resolve.To start from the end: yes, the latest version is 2.5.0 (but there's a bug in the code that prevents it to compile :/ ), and 2.6.0 should come out soon. Problem is that they code against the latest (upstream) KDE version, so newer versions of Digikam don't always make it to the standard repositories.
