The File Renaming Options sidebar is missing on Digikam5. Build 4:5.1.0-wily~ppa1 on Ubuntu 15.10 x64 I've installed and re-installed this version several times on two machines with the same results. Digikam 4.14.0 has the sidebar.
No problem using digiKam AppImage bundle for Linux. Try with current development version available here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier
Some feedback here using AppImage Linux bundle ? Gilles Caulier
Import Rename from 5.4.0 AppImage bundle for Linux https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/31035224511/in/dateposted-public/ All is here and fully suitable... Gilles Caulier
The Digikam (5.3) AppImage bundle works, and after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 x64 - as I couldn't install v5.3 in Ubuntu 15.10 due to dependency problems - 4:5.3.0-yakkety~ppa2 is also fine.
I'm running Digikam 5.4 (build 4:5.4.0-0ubuntu3, the distribution's version) with Ubuntu 17.04 x64 (upgrade) and the problem has returned. https://www.flickr.com/photos/39126243@N03/34045069610/in/dateposted-public/ Only the GeoLocations sidebar is shown - can I get the Settings sidebar to display on the Import window with this version?
The tab view exists but are reduced to the minimum due to lack of icon on your system. Use Universal Linux AppImage instead. Current pre-version 5.6.0 is available here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier
Thanks for the advice. I tested the AppImage version 5.50, and installed the repo version 5.4 on an Ubuntu 17.04 LiveCD. On both versions the tabs and icons are visible but very small, due to high retina screen resolution. The icon which has the focus displays the text; the others shrink to display only the icons. On my Ubuntu 17.04, mousing carefully over the icon location on repo version 5.40 shows that the tabs are there, but tiny and lacking icons. I can still click on them, and with focus the text label appears. Is it possible to add the missing icons to my 5.40 installation, and/or prevent the tabs from shrinking to hide the text labels?
Look in Setup dialog, Misc options. There is one entry to configure the sidebar tab behavior Gilles Caulier
