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

[Sky Diver]

Thanks Maik.

Turns out I was looking into last week's beta3.
After downloading this week's new beta3 I can confirm that the bug is
fixed and the feature works as expected.

This version contains the new behavior that bugs Stuart Rogers and as
a long time Windows user that switched to Ubuntu,
I can confirm that a single-click where a double-click is expected is
indeed annoying :)

I already wrote this, but I'll write it again:
Having two builds with the same version tag (case in point:
6.0.0-beta3) leads to confusion.
Only today I realized why my beta3 behaves differently that other
people's beta3.

Not sure how this could be resolved in digikam, but I am certain that
this is solvable.
