Description Tom Emerson 2006-07-17 17:04:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Bug #112107 was marked "resolved" due to the fact the underlying component has changed, however the problem still remains -- video files and (I presume) audio files don't export all that well.

The request is (was) to use a standard image (typically, the mimetype icon per the file's actual type) and create a downloadable link to the actual content of the file instead of the broken graphic thumbnail.  Basically, wrap an <a href=... tag around the <img> tag.  I just created a couple of albums of a wedding I attended over the weekend, and manually "fixed up" the "broken image" links this way

The global concept to handle non type mimed files in digiKam is not support and will never supported. Unclassified types of media in a collection manager will give a big mess.

You must to be rigourous to catalog files, especially with big collection.

I close this file as wont fix.
