[digiKam-users] versions of pictures

[Maik Qualmann]

Maybe I don't fully understand the problem. The digiKam main view also has a 
version sidebar. You can see all versions of the image as a thumbnail there. 
Hovering over an entry will bring up a small image icon, clicking on this will 
take you straight to the album where the image is located.

I don't understand what you mean by version link at BQM. The BQM has a setting 
under Behavior whether a new standalone image is created or a new version.
