Oh, so I'll have to keep my curiosity under control until KDE releases the 
final 4 :-)

thanks for the hint. I'll consider this, but I guess for the moment I stay 
with the update from today anyway... at least for a while...

It worked. I just had to delete some old stuff to make the install successful 
(don't know what was really necessary to delete - I just deleted everything)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'd really like to be more active here, but as I 
rarely play, and if I do, they always draw the wrong numbers in lotto, I 
still have to do some work from time to time ;-)

However I always enjoy the work with digiKam and have nothing to complain 
about this great tool  (except of "my metadata things", of course, and I am 
*very* curious to see the emprovements...).

same to you all
