Oh heck, I'm a citizen of two countries, speak 3 languages, and I've 
lived in Europe, Asia, and America.  All that means is that I've had the 
opportunity to be a clod on three continents, not just in my homeland.

Now back to the original post.  The difference is this:

Q. Digikam sucks; X Commercial App is better.

A.  OK, go use X Commercial App and don't bother us.

--or--

Q.  Digikam sucks because it doesn't have the following essential (to 
me) functionality.  I've looked in the docs and on the web, and I can't 
find how to make it work.  Here's specifically what I did.  It would be 
great if it could be added because: blah.  Here's where it needs to be 
added and here's the benefit that would be gained.

A.  Great, we're on it.  Or great, but we don't have the resources.  Or 
great, added to the wish list.

You chose the first option.  That will not get you what you want.  Open 
source developers don't get paid, and thus they don't have to make 
anyone happy except for themselves.  You want new features, you have to 
get buy in.  Your initial email was not a way to get buy-in.
