That's again your opinion, i.ow. "I want it to be that way", not "good 
practice prescribes that way". As there are several elements involved, I'm not 
sure it's easy to get a good and safe default *and* allow what you want in one 
checkbox.

It all depends on what the developers consider the most important. I didn't 
pay for the program, and as far as I know, neither of us is directly involved 
with Digikam development. For me that means I can request changes, but I have 
no right whatsoever to prescribe to the *unpaid* volunteers of the development 
team what they should do or not do (let alone prescribe how to do it).
