This happens to me, too, in most, if not all the iterations I checked. I have to Refresh" which does not just refresh the folder I'm in, but instead the whole database. But this does fix the 'missing thumbnail after unsuccessful move' issue if I happen to see the notice that the file was not moved.

I understand the performance hit I would take, I have used less than version 5.0 before, but using a file manager is not an option here I believe. I am using Digikam after trying out Shotwell, Darktable, Gthumb, and Gwenview. I have tried using many different file managers before I ever posted to this fourum: Dolphin, Nemo, Midnight Commander, Krusader, Konqueror, Double Commander, muCommander, XnView MP and FreeCommander (Windows Only). I am resorting to using XnView MP because it is closest to the interface of Digikam that works in Linux. It is a poor substitute to Digikam even for sorting photos. If FreeCommander worked in Linux or if Ext2fs was more stable at writing to a Linux partition, I would not be here. FreeCommander is solidly windows based and I wish to maintain my files on a Linux drive (Read:Not NTFS or FAT based). I like using digikam and if I have to use 4.14 to be able to move files effectively, then that is what I will do. Considering the amount of effort I have put in trying to find a stable substitute, at this point severely downgrading seems like my only choice. Especially considering : > (In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #10) > 2/ Older DK version provide a dialog in case of renaming.

If I'm understanding this correctly the functionality isn't broken, but rather does not exist because the KInputOutput protocol can't be utilized or is somehow incompatible with Digigkam 5 and above. This was responsible for the pop-up dialog. So this may not be fixed for sometime, correct? I love this program and I very much understand what it means to be open-source/community driven. I have alot of respect for you programmers and the amount of work and code you have to do to keep up a program this advanced. This is by no means a complaint. Any advice you can give either by suggesting a comparable file manager or photo program other than the ones I listed above, I'm all ears. When I've managed to sort my +500,000 photos into a more manageable hierarchy I will certainly be back to using digikam. These are the thing I need in a replacement File Manager/DAM: 1/ Custom file naming (shotwell does not do this. You are locked into a chronological file tree) 2/ Has a preview window (many file managers don't do this). 3/ Has a thumbnail view and a film roll view like in digikam and can be switch easily (surprisingly hard to find) 4/ Can handle previewing and thumbnailing NEF,JPG,PNG,GIF,TIFF files. 5/ Has a Database file as this seems to be the only way to handle this many files quickly. 6/ (Not a deal breaker but would be nice) A move to folder dialog similar to digikams Thank you for your time and knowledge. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
