<html><head></head><body>It is my intention to start publishing tips and/or pushing experienced digikam users to share their knowledge in the near-ish future.<br>
<br>
I've still got a few more web site this GS I'd like to handle before that effort begins.<br>
<br>
I feel with the semi recent Apple Photos crap, Picasa going away, etc etc that digikam is perfectly poised to step in. There are some fantastic community contributors as well, so I expect great things.<br>
<br>
Certainly as you take your first steps, your feedback is very valuable... You can only experience things with a fresh perspective once!<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Thank you for the response and the welcome - I've spent a lot of time<br />scouring these forums for further info. I'm surprise there aren't more posts<br />about how to take better advantage of DigiKam - eg like top tips for power<br />users etc..<br /><br />I was able to get the delete keyboard shortcut to work, albeit NOT the<br />shortcut I had assigned in the shortcut menu! I have it programmed as<br />"Delete" however only "FN+Delete" works. Odd..!<br /><br />Thanks for the background on the trash folder - odd, but I'll get used to<br />it.<br /><br />I'm surprised there aren't more plugins - I found a further list of plugins<br />here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Image_Plugin_Interface">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Image_Plugin_Interface</a><br /><br />Are there any stats on who uses digiKam? eg number of users, which<br />platforms, locations, etc...? Just out of curiosity as not many people<br />default to digiKam, especially after Picasa was removed from service.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><br />Hello Mitz,<br /><br />Welcome to the digikam community.<br /><br />Re Del key<br />I am not sure why Del isn't working on your Mac. I have never used a Mac<br />computer though. It works on Linux and Windows.<br /><br />Re plugins<br />If you are looking for plugins please search for kipi-plugins.<br /><br />Re Google Photos plugin<br />I think I have tried the plugin once or twice and it crashed on me so I<br />stopped using it and use web upload instead.<br />Perhaps Saurabh Patel might help you since he seems to be the one who wrote<br />the plugin.<br /><br />Re digiKam trash folder<br />I don't believe you can change that. I think dev team could not figure out<br />how to make digiKam work with system trash on Linux, Windows and Mac and<br />created the internal digiKam trash folder as a workaround to make digiKam a<br />trully cross-platform application.<br /><br />Re Album section<br />I don't think it is possible to flatten the album view. You can make the<br />font smaller though. Settings - configure digiKam - Views - Tree views<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--<br />View this message in context: <a href="http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/New-to-Digikam-a-few-questions-tp4696383p4696404.html">http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/New-to-Digikam-a-few-questions-tp4696383p4696404.html</a><br />Sent from the digikam-users mailing list archive at <a href="http://Nabble.com">Nabble.com</a>.<br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
