<p><font size="+1">Hi Gilles, Derek and Peter,</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Thanks for your responses. I had not appreciated
what a good idea appimages were/are :) For that reason I have
avoided them. However, having now informed myself it looks like
this is the way forward and will re-install Artful at the next
opportunity and set about downloading my first *.appimage file
:)</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">I wonder though how this system of packaging will
affect the future of Linux Distros in general? Will they become
less or more flexible for all? At the moment I get updates
automatically for all chosen applications. IN the future it may
be more difficult to locate the package I need and, also to keep
up with updates but...on reflection, no more so than with the
dreaded Windows 10 system I suppose ;)</font></p>
<p>Every day is a School day!</p>

<p>Many thanks again.</p>

<pre wrap="">Hello James,
if digikam is not in the default software repository of Artful Aardvark, maybe
digikams AppImage packages are a solute to use digikam in your Linux distribution.
AppImage Download:

AppImage in general:

I haven't tried this myself, but there has been a lot of talking about DigiKam
AppImage on this mailinglist.

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
Message for Philip Jonsson I suppose :) Do you plan to support Artful
Aardvark with Digikam? I only ask because, once again I have upgraded
and lost Digkam :( Not an urgent thing though because I always have a
backup image and I have reverted to Zesty for now :)If you do have a plan to support Artful, how will I keep an eye
on progress? Would I just visit the ppa pages and look out for a
new package?
Thanks for your continued support.
James Pirie
