Automatic deletion of photos

[post at frank-lautenbach.de]

I accidentally deleted one photo with Windows Explorer that was already in
the DK database.
After restarting DK, I noticed that the photo had also been deleted in DK.

That's bad!

This behavior means that I cannot tell if one or more photos have been
deleted without me noticing.

Other applications, such as IMATCH from Photools, do not automatically
delete missing photos from the database, but mark them with a specific
symbol.
This alerts you to missing photos when you start the app, and you can
restore them from a backup.

I think this approach makes a lot of sense, as it provides better protection
against data loss.

Is there a way to prevent automatic deletion from the database in DK?

I couldn't find anything about this in the manual.

 

Bleib(en) (Sie) gesund!

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
