[Digikam-users] Re: Digikam Tutorial hard to find

[sleepless]

Thanks a lot for investing so much time in me. I checked my send Items 
but could not figure out to wich "incomprehensible question you reffered 
to". Your remarks on the beta version of Digikam makes perfectly sense 
to me, but I am not complaining (at least not in the sense of blaming 
anybody) I try to make a point not for me but for the project Digikam, I 
have one, don't I. I just hope someone picks it up. Just turning back to 
our lightrooms etc and not making clear where the problems are is not 
very helpfull.
It's not clear to me what your remark on developers receiving nothing 
for there effort have to do with me. I already expressed my admiration 
and thankfullness for the people behind this project publicly and try to 
be as helpfull ass possible for others (succeeded in that one already) 
and to find some help for myself (not so succesfull till now)

Kind regards
Rinus
