Missing menus

[Andrey Goreev]

I guess one will have to compare the code for digiKam editor x.x (whichever version works for you) and digiKam 5.5 and try to understand where the issue is.
I just wanted to add that you can have multiple Desktop Environments on the same system and switch them on login. So you don't have to reinstall anything which means your work tools / files won't be touched.
I personally use darktable and RawTherapee for RAW developing and digiKam for all the rest.

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

Also Derek if you can't stand KDE you can try Ubuntu MATE, Mint Cinnamon or Mint MATE.They all GNOME based so your Nautilus scripts will work.

As far as I remember all edit tools are under Tools in toolbar not in

menubar.

But regardless, have you tried my workaround?



1. Press Ctrl + M in Editors (it probably won't work)

2. Press Ctrl + L to open Light table

3. In light table press Ctrl + M to show/hide menubar. (It should work)

4. Return to the editor window and press Ctrl + M to show/hide menubar.

(It should work now)








In my virtualbox, using the Control key is not possible (at least not on unity), and anyway unity is pretty weird in virtualbox/ubuntu 16.10



so I can't help

may be the OP?



but if the editor could be launched as independent windows, I guess the problem would be solved
yes, it is see my previous message.
