New to Digikam - a few questions

[Andrey Goreev]

Hello Mitz,

Welcome to the digikam community.

Re Del key
I am not sure why Del isn't working on your Mac. I have never used a Mac
computer though. It works on Linux and Windows.

Re plugins
If you are looking for plugins please search for kipi-plugins.

Re Google Photos plugin
I think I have tried the plugin once or twice and it crashed on me so I
stopped using it and use web upload instead.
Perhaps Saurabh Patel might help you since he seems to be the one who wrote
the plugin.

Re digiKam trash folder
I don't believe you can change that. I think dev team could not figure out
how to make digiKam work with system trash on Linux, Windows and Mac and
created the internal digiKam trash folder as a workaround to make digiKam a
trully cross-platform application.

Re Album section
I don't think it is possible to flatten the album view. You can make the
font smaller though. Settings - configure digiKam - Views - Tree views

Best regards,
