Description Bill Goodman 2016-12-30 21:13:07 UTC

The installer adds an "Uninstall" item to the Start menu during installation. This behavior has been non-approved for more than 10 years. Programs are normally uninstalled using the various Program control panels in the various versions of Windows. This menu item is not only superfluous but it actually makes the program look like it was created by amateurs.

The uninstaller is also available in Windows control panel. Before to said that digiKAm is created by amateurs, check before !

Yes, I know it is available in the Control Panel. The point is that including an item in the Start menu has been deprecated for about 15 years. Including this item makes it look like the developers are 10 years out of date.
