Well my installation says I have:-

    digikam.x86_64      0.9.2-1.fc7
    digikam-doc.noarch  0.9.2-0.1.beta2.fc7

So they are both 0.9.2, however I guess the beta documentation might
not have quite caught up.


Thanks for the explanation though, I must admit the Image Editor does
*feel* as if it's fully integrated into digikam so it does make sense.
