SUMMARY When saving a modified image in digikam editor, there is no easy way to just overwrite the existing work copy, instead it creates a new version for me STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Edit picture (by Clicking on Image Editor) 2. Crop image (or do any other change) 3. Save changes OBSERVED RESULT No matter how you save changes (SaveChanges, SaveAsNewVersion->SaveInFormat) it always creates a versioned file, rather than overwriting existing file. Even explicitly chosing SaveAsNewVersion->SaveNewVersionAs first proposes a versioned file name. EXPECTED RESULT It should be possible to overwrite by default SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: plasma-framework 5.78.0-3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0-2 Qt Version: 5.15.2-5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Exactly the current behavior is intended if the versioning feature is activated in the Image Editor. The original should remain unchanged. If you don't want that, deactivate the versioning in the digiKam settings under Editor-> Versioning. Then you have normal "Save" and "Save As" available. Maik

However, it was not obvious to find, as it became one day switched on on its own without my interaction.
Versioning is the standard setting for a new digiKam configuration, it does not activate itself. Maik
