It's strange to see this usual metadata not available after an<br>
upgrade. It can be a binary compatibility broken with DB interface.<br>
This problem is not new and is generally a packaging dysfunction.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>My guess would rather go to the big reorganization I've just made on my HDD. But I'm surprised Digikam could display titles under the thumbnails and not in the tabs; I thought there were some inconsistency that's why I question a new Digikam version.<br>

I'm surprised to see that you use Fedora. It's not the best choice<br>
about KDE support (and desktop solution). To have tested in my office<br>
a lots of linux box, Fedora is really the choice to do about desktop.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I don't use (and don't want to) KDE desktop. I've been pretty happy since I went to Fedora 3 years ago, and I don't intend to change for something else in the near future.<br>

<div>The most important is the integration and the support of KDE technologies for all desktop. I know that Fedora don't care about KDE. As digiKam use some important KDE engine in background, this point is very important.</div>

I highly recommend to test another distro. My preferred, with an<br>
excellent KDE support is Mageia (digiKam release packager is a Mageia<br>
guy). I use it since a very long time now, and i teach Linux<br>
technologies in a computer science school with Mageia.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I'm nothing near a Linux admin (and I don't intend to be). </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>
I'm not a Unix Guru, and i don't want to it. I want easy want to manage desktop. Of course, i know the power of command line like alternative, but computer are dedicated to be simple to use (in this way, OSX is really good). Mageia is so far more simple to use and configure than Fedora...</div>
