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

[Charles Morel]

That did it. The DigiKam program works. Thanks a lot!!!  Now I have another
problem. I selected my camera from the list, clicked OK, a new window opened
up which shows the name of the camera I added. The problem is that window is
cut off at the bottom and I don't know if there is a save button or
not. When I close that window and look at selections on the menu bar, the
add images is grayed out, also no media is detected under Camera menu, and
if I click on import only the Folder option is available. When I go back to
the cameras added list, it's empty. I did it several times and it did the
same thing. I tried to auto detect and it detected another model Canon
camera instead of the one I own.  That one disappears from the added camera
list too. Is there a Save button I can't see on that list of added cameras?
