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

[Maik Qualmann]

The problem is known, we have a bug report about it. This component comes
from a KF5 / KDE library and does not work under Windows at this point.
Find a unused keyboard shortcut, you can sort the list by keyboard shortcut
and then click reassign.
