Photos not showing in album after copy

I have just been copying some photos between albums and sub-albums and
now when I go back to the original album the copied photos do NOT show
up, however they are there as I can see the correct file names in
Dolphin. I am running Digikam 4.1 btw. Is this a known bug?

If your using MySQL for the database there are known bugs. I cannot run
any version of Digikam with the 4.x versions.

No not running MySQL database.

Forgot to say the photos which refuse to display in the primary album
are ones which I have edited (in Digikam) in the sub-album.

I tried re-building thumbnails and scanning for new items but nothing
seems to display these photos.

Re: Photos not showing in album after copy

OK done a bit more digging on this and having removed and re-added the
collection containing the albums and photos in question I can say that I
still have missing photos from the display.

Take one photo in particular the original is IMGP3763.JPG which is in
both the main album and the sub-album as shown by dolphin but will not
display in digikam at all in either main or sub albums.

However in the sub album I can see IMGP3763_V1.JPG which is an edit
which was saved as an original not a new version. So as I was not happy
with the edit I deleted this V1 image and lo and behold the original now
shows up in both main and sub albums.

So bottom line here is that when you save in edit something goes awry
with digikam. Saving as an original file name I would expect to save
without the V1 added and still both images to show in both albums
correctly but obviously different as one has been edited.

In reply to this post by Stuart T Rogers

this sounds like what I experienced when I has versioning enabled. Only the most
recent version is shown then. Only when you open the Versioning tab in the right
column, the older versions appear and can be made permanent by clicking on a
temporarily visible icon in the top field, see my screen shot.

Re: Photos not showing in album after copy

You are correct this is stupid versioning getting in the way. The way it
works currently is VERY confusing as the editor button says save with
the original file name which it does NOT do. I copied the images I
wanted to edit precisely because I did not want to overwrite the
originals (something I ALWAYS do), this time I decided to edit the image
with digikam which now seems like a huge mistake considering the time it
has taken to get to the reason for this. Now I will go back to my old
way of doing this outside of digikam.

Has this changed along the way between releases because I dont remember
having this issue some time ago when I first started using digikam?

1.I never turned on non destructive editing and versioning on it was on
by default which I believe is wrong. If you believe it should be on by
default then this needs to be made clear on initial install and the user
should be asked to confirm they want it on and explain what happens if
they keep the setting.

2. If versioning is on it should NEVER affect any image other than the
one in the album opened in the editor, it should NEVER affect any other
image in any other album just because it has the same name. Assuming an
image is the same when it merely has the same name is completely wrong.
