[Kde-imaging] Uninstall programs - how??

Hi Dan,

Yes, in a way it is. The version you are using is packaged by the KDE
Windows team. The issue is that a software 'release' for a given version of
digiKam and kipi plugins by the developers is a compressed archive of all
the source necessary to compile both sets of software (either together or
separate), with the exception of Windows which I'll get to in a moment. So,
for all operating systems you would need to either compile digiKam/kipi
yourself, or download a compilation someone else has done for your system
(be it linux, mac os, windows, etc). In the case of Windows, there are
currently two ways to get digiKam. There is a version released by the
digiKam team when possible that comprises of everything necessary to run
digiKam/kipi in one installer available here:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam/

There is also the release packaged by the KDE Windows team which you
downloaded. The version released by KDE Windows is actually older, and may
be incompatible with gwenview. I'm not sure about this, you would have to
contact the KDE Windows team to find out.

I'm not sure how to uninstall individual applications using the KDE Windows
installer, but I believe if you run the installer again there is an option
to remove all installed packages. The digiKam package that we release to
sourceforge has it's own uninstaller accessible from the standard program
management area on Windows 7, the 'Programs and Features' Control Panel.
You might also check if KDE Windows now places an uninstaller there.

Unfortunately this inconsistency is common with open source projects like
this, especially those that participate in a larger open source project.

Best,

-Ananta
