[Digikam-users] Save advanced slideshow?

[Samuel Gilbert]

Hello Den,

Thank you for the information.  I am running DK 3.1.0 on Archlinux, but I can 
not find the "Extras".  Checked that all the kipi-plugins are indeed active, 
and yet, I can not find "Extras" or "Export to Video Slide Show".  Where can it 
be found?  Is it possible that this is a compile time option?

Best regards,
Samuel
