[digiKam-users] digiKam fails to display some photos

[Maik Qualmann]

The problem is known and has been fixed when importing Samsung images with 
newer digiKam versions. Samsung smartphone images all have the same unique 
images ID. If you have not activated the display of original images in the 
digiKam versioning settings, these Samsung images will be hidden.
Activate the display of the original images in the versioning settings and 
then re-read the metadata from the corresponding Samsung images.
