[Digikam-users] No thumbnails in album view - and crash

[Andi Clemens]

I didn't want to say that openSUSE and Kubuntu are crap, they sure are not.
I used Kubuntu 4 years ago, too. And my first distro ever was SuSE 6 or 
something like that, even bought it in a local store.
But in the last months those were the distros that gave us the most 
bugreports.
So to avoid flamewars now: openSUSE and Kubuntu are great!!! :-)
