"trash:/"

> I was using Digikam for my digital camera Olympus fe-115. It opened the

> 2.3 gig folder of pictures in the album section, these were separate and
> just wanted to handle my camera pictures in the album. so the only option

> sure it was NOT checked and tried it with an empty folder. I saw the folder
> in my home so thought, great, it only deleted from the Digikam album. To my
> surprise, when I deleted the 2.3 gig album from Digikam, it never made it
> to the trash. What happened was this..It deleted my photos completely, they
> were nowhere in the trash bin, instead of my 2.3 g of pictures, I ended up
> with a folder called pictures, and it's empty. My original folder was My
> Pictures, as I created it. Plus all sub folders were gone as well. Then
> there are duplicates all of the sudden of the Digikam album folder. One main
> folder, then another copy of it, then one inside it with pictures and the
> empty picture folder. I don't know what is going on with it but luckily I
> always backup so no problem but if someone who isn't backup savvy, they may
> get into trouble. I have to try and remove Digikam as it's not working well
> at all. It imports very quickly but has been very unstable. So a quick
> rundown again...in case this sounds confusing..

> Chose only to move to trash not delete: deleted them anyway and created an
> empty folder in it's place called "pictures"
>
> Digital photo import: Created a folder eg..00.21.XXXX then created a copy
> of it, then another inside it.
