Hi Wolfgang,

to apply the patch, you have to go into the core directory. There you first
fetch the current state of the master branch with git pull.
Then you test the patch with
git apply --check PatchFilePath
If there are no warnings or errors, you type
git apply --apply PatchFilePath

Then you can go in the build folder and compile the system with make install.

I use an alias to start digikam wich I added to my bashrc:
alias
digikam-dev="KDESYCOCA=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/var/tmp/kde-eladrion/ksycoca5
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/share:/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/lib64/plugins:/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/lib/plugins:
/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/bin/digikam"
alias
digikam-dev-valgrind="KDESYCOCA=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/var/tmp/kde-eladrion/ksycoca5
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/share:/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/lib64/plugins:/home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/lib/plugins:
valgrind /home/eladrion/local/opt/digikam/bin/digikam"

You will have to adopt the paths for your environment. But these aliases make
it easy to test. The second alias runs digikam under valgrind.
