[digiKam-users] Digikam not showing non-image files in album view

[Peter Albrecht]

Hi,

as for "unexpected data loss" when deleting an album, please have a look at this
bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216412

It suggests to show a warning message before album deletion when directories
contain files which are not shown by digiKam.

In my usecases this warning message would be quite sufficient, since my albums
do not contain other file types in 95%.

Regards,
	Peter
