New to Digikam - a few questions

[Mitz]

Hello all,

I have moved from Digikam from Picasa. I'm not an advanced photo editor - I
simply need a powerful photo manager/organizer. I moved to Digikam as it
seems feature packed, fast and most importantly does not create separate
photo databases (like iPhoto) as I have a meticulously organized file
structure I've had for a number of years now and I don't want a program
changing it.

I am using a MacBook Pro 2016 model with MacOS Sierra, Digikam v.5.5.0
installed, KDE Frameworks 5.29.0.

A few questions to help me get started:

- What is the DELETE photo keyboard short cut?  I've searched all over and
can't seem to get any keyboard shortcut to work!  Reading here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349901 it was a bug previously but
seems fixed though it does not work for me. I have gone to
Settings->Configure Shortcuts and made it either Del or Apple+Del and still
doesn't work. Ideas?

- Where can I find more plug ins?  

- On the Google Photos export plug in, the exporting/upload works, however,
I cannot seem to create a new album.  I can see all of my albums on
Google/Picasa but no "New Album" button where I'd expect it to be. When I
create a new album on the web version of Google/Picasa it does show up, so
the credentials and login works.

- When I delete an album/photo it does not go into the Mac's trash, instead
it goes into digikam's trash. Is there a way to change this behavior?

- Is there anyway to organize the Album section so I only see a certain
level of folders?  eg I want to see N-1 folders.  My folder naming system is
year, then within that folder is "YYYYMMDD - Event" . I just want to see a
list of the YYYYMMDD - Event folders, not the year.

Thanks in advance!
