[Digikam-users] How to keep digiKam from deleting image files

[Christoph Siedentop]

Hi Elle,

is this running on Linux or Windows? Also what version of digikam are you
using?

This is of course not what should happen. But normally the operating system
protects files from being deleted.

Best regards,
Christoph
