[Digikam-users] DK 3.3.0 Editor: Color Effects not functional

[Robert Zeller]

Gilles,

I am a bit  surprised: I also have a relatively fast computer 6-core AMD
CPU with 3.4 GHz and 8 GB memory. So race conditions should not be too
much of a problem. However I would like to patch my installation of DK.
Actually I compiled it myself from the source code at kde download site.
My problem however is, I am not an expert in cpp and don't know how to
patch the source code. Could you send me some instructions on how to do it?

Robert
