[digiKam-users] Digikam 7.8.0 doesn't update thumbnails and folders

[Chris Deuchar]

Hi Maik,   It is only since the update to 7.8.0 from 7.7.0 that this
problem has arisen.  Previous updates have worked as expected.
For the record, all my images are within the home directory anyway so I am
not sure if your comment applies anyway?

Thanks anyway, Chris
