5.3 philip5 packages vs. 5.4 app image (Re: Digikam 4.14.0 -> 5.3.0 - big update, some questions)

[Philip Johnsson]

I just made an update of digikam 5.3 with appstyles support. Not sure how
much that will change what you are asking for.

When it comes to icons I can't update icons that are provided by KDE
framworks as that would make package conflicts. As for now I also have to
rely on icons that provided by the old digikam 4 as long as I keep the new
digikam 5 packages in parallel with the old digikam 4 packages to be abled
to be install in the same system as many users of my PPA have requested for
some time.

Which icons are you having problems with when it comes to your installation
that you see whe you use digikam 5?

Not sure I can do anything about play, paus and stop control icons for
videos. I'm not sure it's a packaging issue but maybe something for
developers or how QT5 is built for Ubuntu.
