Steps to reproduce: 1. Open folder with photos using the "open folder" button. 2. Select a photo to edit by double-clicking on it in the thumbbar. 3. Make some edit to the photo. 4. Select another photo in the thumbbar, single click only. 5. Click "Save". The problem is that the modified photo is now written to the filename of the current selection in the thumbbar, overwriting the contents of that file. I assume this is not the intended function, at least I found it very unexpected. This happened to me several times, each time I noticed the data loss I restored the overwritten photo from backup and continued editing other photos. Then it happened again, and again. Took me a long time to understand what was going on.
This problem has been fixed some time ago. I can not reproduce it. Please check with current universal AppImage Linux bundle available here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Maik
I have now upgraded my installation to version 5.4.0 and the behaviour has not changed, still a problem.
Gilles, can you reproduce this problem? Simon, is displayed the correct filename for saving in the dialog? Maik
Maik, It's not reproducible here. Right file name is printed in messagebox. Note that versionning feature is disabled in this case to check this file. Enabling versionning give another messagebox. As a new file is created the problem do not exist in ths case. Gilles
Maik, I want to report more details : When message box appear, a confirmation appear after to press Save button. This confirmation dialog ask if i'm sure to overwrite the file. The file name printed is the right one also. If i confirm, the right file is overwritten. digiKam 5.5.0 from git/master Gilles
Maik, I confirm this bug now. Look well the report : it's about Showfoto, not DK image editor. The behavior is completely different. Dysfunction is quickly reproducible. When switching from on icon thumbnail to another one, no messagebox is displayed. Gilles
Yes, I know it's about showFoto. But a message box is only displayed if the image was also changed and choose a different image in the thumbbar. It is not reproducible here, even when changing the image with the keys. Can someone create a screencast? Maik
Maik, Screencast of the dysfucntion : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzeiVr-byqt5ZTF2czRRRmhjQ28 Gilles
It almost looks as if the correct image is not loaded. The error message when trying to save the RAW is correct. But why not a messagebox??? Here's my screencast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByXDEhL2xmagOHhfVmZIMjFBaGc/view Maik
Maik, Create a new fresh account and start Showfoto. It's reproducible ? Gilles
