Has DigiKam a limit on file sizes?

[Gilles Caulier]

PDF and XCF are not raster Images. They cannot be edited satety in image
editor.

Thumbnail must work. This is delegate to Qt image loader from KImgIO
component. but that all.

XCF is GIMP container. Use GIMP to edit.
PDF is to export contain, not to archive as orginal.

If you use TIFF to scan, use TIFF to edit. digiKam support TIFF very well.
