[digiKam-users] V6 appimage on Linux 64bit issue with single click

[Maik Qualmann]

@Sky Diver, your bug report is fixed.
The change has already been taken back, it was an attempt to make the workflow 
smoother. If you want, you can set the single click in the system settings. I 
do not want to build a second KDE Control Center from the digiKam settings to 
inflating it with additional exception options.
