[digikam] [Bug 374354] New: Installer adds "Uninstall" item to Start menu

            Bug ID: 374354
           Summary: Installer adds "Uninstall" item to Start menu
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: setup
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

The installer adds an "Uninstall" item to the Start menu during installation.
This behavior has been non-approved for more than 10 years. Programs are
normally uninstalled using the various Program control panels in the various
versions of Windows. This menu item is not only superfluous but it actually
makes the program look like it was created by amateurs.

Yes, I know it is available in the Control Panel. The point is that including
an item in the Start menu has been deprecated for about 15 years. Including
this item makes it look like the developers are 10 years out of date.
