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

[Gilles Caulier]

Thomas,

Well, this shortcuts dialog do not come from digiKam code, but from
KDE Plasma API which checks with all desktop active shortcuts. We
don't maintain this code. For all feedbacks, this must be done through
KDE bugzilla in KF5 KXMLGUI framework
