Welcome to the world of Digikam.
I have been running Digikam successfully for quite a while.

If you have a problem with Digikam, this list may be able to help you.
Have also a look at http://www.digikam.org/

Within my system I just have to click the help button and there it is.
Digikam is opens source, free of charge, and very powerful. Which means, 
you will have to invest some effort to unlock that power.

You should include some information about your system and specify the 
problem.

For example my system runs digikam Version 3.2.0, unter KDE 4.10.5 
"release 1", OS is opensuse 12.3.
It also runs under Windows, which I don't use for photo management

Yes, you get the information via email and can read it when you have 
spare time. Some like it that way and not being retro doesn't 
automatically mean "advanced".

Have fun
