[digiKam-users] versions of pictures

Maik

in fact when I unset de flag in BQM "save image as a newly created 
branch" , the result is not exactly what I was expecting
let me summarize the scenario

*X-original.jpg*          ==BQM process ==> *X-processed.jpg*    ==> 
another BQM process   ==> *X-processed-2.jpg*

What I would like to see in the version sidebar

    *X-original.jpg*
    *X-processed.jpg *
    *X-processed-2.jpg*


but the result is not as expected and seems independent of the flag 
"save image as a newly created branch"

in some case , the version sidebar is showing

    *X-original.jpg*


in some other case

    *X-processed.jpg *
    *X-processed-2.jpg*

*
*and in some case*
*

    **X-original.jpg**
    **X-processed.jpg **
    **X-processed-2.jpg**

*
*so I have some question :*
*

  * why in some case *X-original.jpg* is missing. I didn't figure out
    the difference when the *X-original.jpg* is missing or not. What I
    just notice is that it seems to be dependant of the folder : there
    are some folders where all the *X-original.jpg* are visible , and
    other where all the *X-original.jpg* are missing. => what can make
    the *X-original.jpg* missing or not in the version sidebar ?
  * why in some case *X-processed.jpg* is missing. Some of my BQM
    processed set the destination folder in another collection, can it
    be the reason why the file is not visible in the version sidebar ?
    in that case anything to do ?
  * what is the difference between setting or unsetting the flag "save
    image as a newly created branch" in the behavior? I don't see any
    (or I missed something)



thanks
Frederic
