[digiKam-users] The woes of a Windows 10 digikam newbie user

[The Man in Black]

 "I have the same problems with this program as you....To import camera images...Nikon's own "nikon transfer" app....open digiKam once the import is done."

Ok, I get it now.Could you confirm the following "workflow" so my expectations are set right?
a) Import camera images onto computer using Nikon Transfer (or similar) appb) Once imported (and organized on disk), use digiKam to open the folder (say, of RAW images) to cull the acceptable/pending/rejects.c) Next step: post-processing (using darktable/RT/etc.) of select images.  Export the processed image as, say, jpeg.d) Back in digiKam: tag/label/add comments to the processed jpeg as it becomes part of the images managed by digiKam.

Would that flow work ok? 
Independent of the above,The icon for Showfoto appears on my desktop along with digiKam.However Showfoto does not show up on Windows list of apps preventing my making it my default app for viewing images.
Could someone explain how I can make Showfoto my default app for viewing images on Windows?

 I have the same problems with this program as you. Even if you could import
from camera there is no option in digiKam to rename the imports to
year/month/day or time or anything else. 

For viewing pictures it's great, only wish it would use the windows
explorer, and not its own database.

I've searched for a decent image manager, there is none. This is the best it
gets...

To import camera images I suggest using Nikon's own "nikon transfer" app.
You can rename the images and folders to what you wish, and it works great.
After doing so you can even set in its options to open digiKam once the
import is done.
