[digiKam-users] How to revert version changes?

I couldn't find this in the manual, and I seem to have messed up the 
database in the process.

If you edit a file, digikam will show you the changes over in the 
versions view. And, you can accidentally (like me) make an edited 
version the display version. But once you do this, there's no way to set 
the original version back to the display version. There's only the 
option to permanently delete the original, which is definitely not what 
I want. Going to the file system and deleting the edited version doesn't 
fix it. In fact, is there a way to fix the database so that it will 
acknowledge changes in the file system?

So, how do you tell DK to use a particular (original) file as the main 
file again? There didn't seem to be any right-clicking or other menu 
items relating to versions.

Thanks!
