Yes, this is the highest priority for me. I would like to fix all file handling in Windows. Right now it is extremely slow, and deleting a file is not possible. This is not only a problem for digiKam, but also for KDE on Windows in general (see, for example, Dolphin). I will try to implement these improvements as time allows.<br>
