i tried removing digikam3.db and Digikam just makes a new one then crashes. Doesn't give me the directory choice again.
I'm running the versions of things as dictated by ports.tar.gz in OpenBSD 5.7 i386. I don't usually try changing versions, it usually causes trouble later. A couple of other ports, Abiword and Lives aren't right, they were fine in 5.2. I didn't notice there was a kde 4. Can it coexist with 3? I've never actually tried to bring up KDE as a desktop. I might have gone into /usr/ports/x11/kde and fetched/installed everything just to not hit dependencies later. I was installing XP, OpenBSD and Debian all at the same time on a new drive. Maybe KDE 4 stuff should be a dependency of Digiikam?
