I looked through this patch now and most of the things are alright. I have two
tiny issues though:

1. I don't think PNG has a fantastic compression (by the way fantastic was
misspelled, so I corrected it :-)), I really think "good compression" would be
enough. But go ahead and discuss on that :-)

2. I think the tip containing
"... that albums in digiKam are folders in your Album Library..."
is too long and (now I'm picky :-)): it has a Microsoft example in it. I know
we just ported digiKam to Windows, but digiKam was and still is mainly a UNIX
program, I think 95% of our user-base are UNIX / Linux users. But again, just
my opinion, discussion is open... :-)
In general I would just skip this second sentence due to the length of the tip.

The rest is already merged with my GIT branch... I will continue to your next
fixes now.

Andi

heh! Sorry, I had had a few beers at that point. Fantastic was probably meant
more new-agey.

Not a problem. The idea for this one was contributed vocally to me by my gf,
as this is exactly what she did/needed to know, when she converted to digikam.
My patches are malleable. Change 'em how you want to.

Well like I said these threads are open for discussion now :-) I'm not the
only one in charge and some points need more opinions from other devs /
users.
But in general most of it will be added immediately in my branch.
Thanks for your work so far!!!

No worries. Honestly, I'm here to help. Change anything I submit if you need
to. No ego vested in this. Like I told Gilles, I absolutely could not do my
job without Digikam, so I am trying to give back.

After I get through all of the text in the program, I may try to work on the
handbook and menu items. I'm sure I'll step on toes as I go along.
