[Digikam-devel] UndoCache disk space issues

[Andi Clemens]

This is the issue: You don't know if another instance of digiKam is running. 
In the past I also just wanted to remove the undo-cache, but other running 
instances were effected.
But due to time limitations I never thought of a good solution.
Maybe you can come up with something useful ;-)
