It is possible that your "original" image is not an original and already has an image history, then it will not be hidden. This definitely works here, just tested it. I'll take another look at the intermediate images to hide. Maik

Interesting, how do I tell if this is the case? as far as I can remember, this has been the same every time I edit and save a photo, whether it’s fresh off the camera or if I’ve already edited it. Even if the image I’m editing already has a history, surely one of “Save” or ”Save as new version” should save it in a way which doesn’t appear to duplicate it?
An original image is not hidden when saving an image using "Save as new version", only when using "Save changes". Maik I tried it again now and this time the ”Save” option worked exactly as I expected, which definitely wasn’t the case last time. Could it be that changing version visibility settings requires a restart of the app or computer in order to take effect? I’m pretty sure I restarted DigiKam after changing the settings while testing for this bug without seeing any difference. Tangentially related: when DigiKam is configured to not show original photos if an edited one is present, is there a way of easily reverting the photo to a previous state? The Versions sidebar seems to only show versions, but not allow any actions to be taken on them. Also, the documentation claims https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/editor_settings.html#image-versioning-settings that only showing the most recent edit in the main view is the default setting, which I agree is a sensible default. However that wasn‘t the case for me, on Kubuntu DigiKam came with both ”In Main View” checkboxes checked, which is a big part of what led to this confusion. In principle, no restart is necessary, the options for visibility of the original image take effect immediately. You can only reset the original flag if you delete all derived images. But I don't know exactly whether digiKam-8.1.0 already worked, I would have to check. Otherwise, there is an overlay icon in the versioning sidebar that appears and you can activate it to always display a version (including the original). This also overrides the setting in setup. Another thing is, we had a bug in some digiKam-7.x.x version where we saved the original flag incorrectly, maybe this affects you too. And yes, it is intended that both options are activated by default. New users will otherwise wonder why digiKam “deleted” the original image. ((:-)) Maik I tested the version feature intensively again here under digiKam-8.4.0. It works as expected. The intermediate snapshots (filename scheme _vx-x) can also be hidden if intermediate snapshots have been enabled. I'm closing the bug for digiKam-8.4.0. Maik |
