[Digikam-users] DigiKam on Debian

[Mick Sulley]

Update - After moving up to Jessie I struggled a little with the new 
desktop interface, but I was getting used to it.  The big problem was 
playing video, switch to full screen worked once but any change after 
that would freeze the video and require a close and re-open. After a lot 
of very frustrating attempts to fix it I have moved back to Wheezy.

I am currently investigating pinning which should allow installation of 
a Jessie package within a Wheezy install.  Testing in a VirtualBox this 
time - I have learned that lesson at least!
