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

[Thomas D]

If that is the intention, then I think it should be much easier to open a
file manager (and a terminal!) on a given album. And it should preferably
have a keyboard shortcut.
Right now it is possible to rightclick on an album in the tree view and
open in file manager, however, that is actually a very complex action:
1. Move the mouse to a tiny icon
2. Right click
3. Locate the "open in file manager" action on the list of possible actions
in the right click menu
4. Click the Open in file manager action.
