[Digikam-users] open with external editor disappeared in recent beta

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

No. This option is just optional if KIO component from KDE is found.
Typically, thsi option is only valid under Linux, not under OSX and Windows
because KIO is not able to handle external applications with these OS. We
need to use a native solution instead.

So, the question is : What your environnement while your recompile digiKam
? At configuration time, a details panel give a feedback about the
configuration done, especially with desktop integration.

Best
