[Digikam-users] DigiKam won't open from desktop menu

[Charles Morel]

Yes, I did use the One's add/remove feature to install DigiKam.

I just went to Package Manager and searched for Digikam under installed
packages. The libexiv2 program was part of the DigiKam package that was
installed, along with libkipi (which appears twice in the list), and
libkidcraw. I also noticed that libkipi was for use with the KDE
environment. My One is using XFCE and was wondering if that was the problem.
If that's the case, how do I delete DigiKam? In the add/remove program, I
didn't see any option for deleting.
