[digiKam-users] How to revert version changes?

[Maik Qualmann]

Which digiKam version are you using? The problem that an original image is not 
visible again if you delete the derived image has been resolved in newer 
digiKam versions. You can also activate the original image in the setup so 
that it is always visible.
In the event of a defective versioning, the "Repair hidden Items" function is 
available in the context menu of the album view, which also repairs a 
defective versioning. A restart may be necessary to run a scan of the 
collection.
