No. They are crying out loudly "Mikolaj!!!" Or going through very
stressful moments.

Sorry, I was too quick to conclusions. Locale seems to be detected
properly, in ~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc:
[General Settings]
Locale=pl_PL    <- which on *nix should automatically means iso-8859-2

Still, entry was broken. I understand currently descriptions are stored
in utf-8 (previously in iso-8859-2). It looked like entry was passed to
display as utf-8 while screen font is generally in iso-8859-2 encoding.

Weekly recursive meetings. Both personal and professional.

OK. That is another problem. I really don't like two panels for tags.
Why cannot it be done with one? Let it be on the right side, but one.

Situation with tag panel on left side. As is today with checkboxes on
the right side for filtering.

Lets choose some album, then switch for tag panel. Album view isn't
destroyed. Click (without releasing) on some tag, nothing changes, then
wait for release. If tag was dragged assign tag to images. If released
without dragging make tag query.

OK. This probably is not making much sense, but I feel something is
wrong here. You should ask on openusability.org .

Tomorrow I will try to find Windows machine with Picasa installed and
play with it.

New thing:

Great feature it is possible to change type of relation (Or, As well as)
in advanced search dialog after inserting new condition. But why is it
so well hidden? I know, it will take more space (and I am always for
saving screen estate) but this is one of few cases where you cannot play
niggard.

ps. Something is *really* wrong with generation of thumbnails... Now
I am even not able to view some thumbnails which are visible in other
types of views :/
