[digiKam-users] Missing Export Menu

[.]

Using the appimage is working quite well, just a couple of funny 
problems, like when launching Gimp from within DigiKam (appimage 
install) I see an error from Gimp saying the little CMS library is the 
wrong version.  Oddly this happens when I make Gimp the default app and 
use a hotkey (meta+F4),  but not when I launch it from the 'Open 
with..." context menu.  Likewise Darktable crashes when it is the 
default and meta+F4 is used, but runs fine from Open with.


Anyway, I can work around this.   So thanks for your help.
