== Useful digiKam Tricks ==
Transcribed from Dmitri Popov's blog, 26 September 2011

# To quickly adjust thumbnail size in the Album view, press and hold the <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> key, then use the mouse scroll wheel to make the thumbnails larger or smaller.
# With the <menuchoice>Non-Destructive editing and Versioning</menuchoice> feature enabled, '''digiKam''' automatically hides originals and displays the latest modified versions of the photos. For example, if you process a NEF file and save it in the JPEG format, '''digiKam''' hides the original RAW file and shows only the JPEG photo. To disable this feature, choose <menuchoice>Settings -> Configure digiKam -> Editing Images</menuchoice> and make sure that the <menuchoice>Always show original images</menuchoice> option in the '''In main view''' section is enabled. To keep things tidy, you can then group the original and all its versions. To do this, select the photos you want to group, right-click on the selection, and choose <menuchoice>Group -> Group Selected Here</menuchoice>.
# {{Output|1=The trash has reached its maximum size!  Cleanup the trash manually}} If you receive this error message and emptying the Trash doesn’t help, then the following command may solve the problem:  {{Input|1=rm ~/.local/share/Trash/metadata}}
# Need to quickly locate all untagged photos? In '''digiKam''', expand the <menuchoice>Search</menuchoice> left sidebar, and press the <menuchoice>Advanced Search</menuchoice> button. In the <menuchoice>Advanced Search</menuchoice> window, tick the <menuchoice>Not Tagged</menuchoice> check box and press <menuchoice>OK</menuchoice> to run the search.
# Instead of the conventional thumbnail view, '''digiKam''' lets you map your photos on a globe. Choose <menuchoice>View -> Map</menuchoice>, and you should see photos from the current album mapped on the 3-D globe.  You can then use the mouse to rotate the globe and the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Obviously, the Map view displays only geotagged photos.
