Hello,
I want to use digikam to manage my photos but I can't find the manual. I looked in the digikam's help menu but it seems I don't have digikam-doc package installed. There is no such package in the repositiories. When I downloaded the package from sourceforge it didn't contain help files in english, which is wierd. Additionally the link to the handbook (in pdf) on the project's homepage is invalid. Until yesterday I used the online html version but it went dead also. Does anyone have the html or pdf version of digikam handbook downloaded? I would be very happy if someone shared it with me.
Regards,
ludwis

I see that digikam package own files like
/usr/share/doc/kde/html/en/digikam/ie-menu.docbook
/usr/share/doc/kde/html/en/digikam/index.docbook
/usr/share/doc/kde/html/en/showfoto/index.docbook
and a couple /usr/share/doc/kde/html/en/kipi-plugins/*.docbook
Maybe they have some sort of info.
About that 404, you should open a bug report if there isn't one already, like http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/PD … 34313.html back in March.
Edit: The wiki http://userbase.kde.org/Digikam has some info and tutorials too.

Thanks for the reply. I checked those files and I don't have them in my filesystem. As to the wiki tutorials, I am aware of them but they are not very informative. I am really interested in the digikam handbook and was just hoping that someone had it.

If you have the latest digikam, you should have those files.
Haev you checked the cached version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s … .google.pl ?
It's not the first time the handbook went 404.

I totally forgot about google's cache! Thanks for reminding me. The cached version does't have any graphics but at least I have something to read now. I downloaded the latest version of digikam documentation from their git repository and I'm attempting to convert the docbook files to html or pdf format.
Edit:
OK, the matter is resolved. I managed to correct the problem with digiKam itself (there were libraries missing) and now I can access the handbook without any problem. Thanks for your help karol.
