Missing menus

[Derek Keats]

Hi Andrey,

Much as I love Digikam, it is rather disappointing, but I cant change my
system, on which so much of my workflow is based for my job, and this is
more important than my hobby. I tried that and I wasted a lot of time, and
quickly went back to Unity on 16.04.

Is still think this is a bug, but I understand that it is unlikely to be
solved any time soon.  I think that if this can't be fixed I will have to
go back to a version of Digikam from before this bug was introduced. Using
shofoto from the command line doesn't really solve anything, I may as well
just use Gimp, and just use Digikam as a glorified file manager and tag
editor. The whole point of an integrated system is to have a very rapid
workflow. Separate tools destroy that.

Thanks for all the suggestions though.

Regards
Derek
