[Digikam-users] Re: 1.9 or 2.0 compiled for Windows?

[Martin Javorek]

I did try digikam on Windows too - with the same result. Disaster. (In version 1.7 it cannot move the photo into trash, wtf?). I'm running digikam now in virtualbox + ubuntu (running in 2GB memory space). Unfortunately, I'm using only the lighttable and managing features now as it looks like digikam can handle only english characters in metadata.

I did try digikam on windows and it was a disaster, because I was fallen 
in love with digikam I have set up a dual boot system now and run dk 
2.0.0.4 on ubuntu 10.10.
If you say  "I keep reading of  bugs, even in the Linux versions" I 
might have contributed to that over the last few days. But actually I 
consider this version as pretty stable, I am doing heavy stuff with it 
and it does a great job, a crash sometimes but sofar never destructive, 
it seems that the data is well protected, after relaunch everyting  is 
just as it was before the crash. I feel safe with it.
