Description Jens 2018-05-14 09:52:00 UTC
1. Open import settings (e.g. by clicking on the link "Warning: file metadata is not used" in the right sidebar of the import window)
2. Just press OK

There is a dialog saying that an image database already exists at the given location ~/Pictures, and I can choose whether to overwrite it with the currently used one or create a new one.

1. This dialog does not make sense. I never changed the image db location and I don't want to overwrite anything. This is confusing and makes people insecure because there is no "Cancel and touch nothing" option.

2. Even worse: If I just close this dialog, Digikam crashes. Oh, very bad - what happened to my image database now? Was it deleted? (Fortunately not, but this behaviour kills users' trust in the application...)

This error has already been fixed in git/master a day ago. New AppImage coming soon...

Great, thanks!

PS: Do you want me to report appimage bugs into BKO at all or should I ask on mailinglist/irc/what(sapp|ever)/.. first?
