[Digikam-users] Digikam on Kubuntu Trusty

[kaefert at gmail.com]

Well. I guess you could say it like that:
Digikam is the most feature rich open-source photo management
software, but sadly it's not the most stable one.
(I've also experienced numerous bugs & crashes with 3.5 and 4.0.0
beta4 which are the two versions I've tried up to now)
