OK I understand now, I got confused with the availability of the Showfoto 6.4.0 standalone version in the Synaptic Package Manager because when I clicked on the "Visit homepage" button, it took me to the digiKam home page with the info on version 7.2.
If you do not produce a standalone Showfoto, where did the one in the Ubuntu repository come from? Is it legitimate? I've attached a screen shot of the package manager screen.

To be clear, we never produce a AppImage especially for Showfoto. I'm
sure, i write all the build scripts myself which take more than one
year to tune, optimize and finalize.

And i will mre clear now : we will never produce a stand alone version
of Showfoto. Time and resources are limited.

Voilà
