Digikam deleted ALL my 2017 photos

[Anders Lund]

I HATE IT.

PLEASE, have proper progress information during file movement.

PLEASE do not delete files that have not been written to target
directory during moving files/albums.

PLEASE WARN when something is not possible, like writing to some device.

PLEASE CHECK THINGS PROPERLY when moving/writing/removing/copying files.

I CAN NOT trust digikam any longer.

Anyone knows a just semidecent alternative, that does file management
properly?

I have a look in the source code. We actually have a possible bug in the recursive copy function. I'll fix it tonight.

Not sure what happened but if you decided to switch to something else you can try Fotoxx and maybe Geeqie.

The problem of deleting the source files during the move can not occur when:

- within the album collection
- between different albums collection which are on the same partition /
volume.

It can happen:

The album collection exist on different partitions / volumes / drives and an
error occurs when copying files to subdirectories.

The bug will be fixed in digiKam-5.8.0.

What's happening with Digikam releases? I can see a recent 5.7.0
installer for Windows and Mac but I don't see any source tarball for
5.7.0 in the KDE stable download directory.

digikam.org has no announcement of 5.7.0 either.

Hi,

Well, i build all bundles from git tag for 5.7.0.

The tarball is build by Nicolas (Mageia packager) who has tagged the git repository. So i'm waiting the upload of tarball on KDE server to post the announcement.

Best
