<div dir="ltr">Hi yes, I understand that one can do multiple desktops or multiple distros. But it is not compatible with my work. I do work and play interspersed because we are a global company, I often am on work stuff most working hours, and I am often editing photos while waiting for a conference call to start. Switching back and forth would just slow down the workflow, and it is the speed of workflow athat makes me love Digikam. Nothing else works as well. d</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 9:28 PM, Andrey Goreev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aegoreev@gmail.com" target="_blank">aegoreev@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Derek</div><div><br></div><div>I guess one will have to compare the code for digiKam editor x.x (whichever version works for you) and digiKam 5.5 and try to understand where the issue is.</div><div><br></div><div>I just wanted to add that you can have multiple Desktop Environments on the same system and switch them on login.

I tried that and I wasted a lot of time, and quickly went back to Unity on 16.04.<div><div><br></div><div>Is still think this is a bug, but I understand that it is unlikely to be solved any time soon. I think that if this can't be fixed I will have to go back to a version of Digikam from before this bug was introduced. Using shofoto from the command line doesn't really solve anything, I may as well just use Gimp, and just use Digikam as a glorified file manager and tag editor. The whole point of an integrated system is to have a very rapid workflow.

As far as I remember all edit tools are under Tools in toolbar not in<br>
menubar.<br>
But regardless, have you tried my workaround?<br>
<br>
1. Press Ctrl + M in Editors (it probably won't work)<br>
2. Press Ctrl + L to open Light table<br>
3. In light table press Ctrl + M to show/hide menubar. (It should work)<br>
4. Return to the editor window and press Ctrl + M to show/hide menubar.<br>
(It should work now)<br>

In my virtualbox, using the Control key is not possible (at least not on unity), and anyway unity is pretty weird in virtualbox/ubuntu 16.10<br>
<br>
so I can't help<br>
may be the OP?<br>
<br>
but if the editor could be launched as independent windows, I guess the problem would be solved</blockquote><div><br></div></span><span><div>yes, it is see my previous message.</div><div><br></div></span><div>Gilles Caulier</div></div></div></div>
