Digikam is a KDE-based image organizer with built-in editing features via a plugin architecture.

## Installation

Install digikam. Optionally, install kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs to generate thumbnails for video files.

## Troubleshooting

### Video playback

This article or section is a candidate for merging with KDE#Phonon.

Notes: Not specific to digikam, see also Help:Style#Official packages (Discuss in Talk:Digikam#)

A Phonon backend is installed as a dependency of Digikam, but matching multimedia codecs may be missing. When using the phonon-qt4-gstreamer backend, install one or more of its plugins with `pacman -S gstreamer0.10-{good,bad,ugly,ffmpeg}` .

### Unreadable tool tips

This article or section is a candidate for merging with Uniform_Look_for_Qt_and_GTK_Applications.

Notes: This is a general issue with Qt applications (Discuss in Talk:Digikam#)

If tooltips within the user interface are either blank (empty rectangles), or unreadable due to a poor foreground and background combination, choose a different widget style:

1. Navigate to Settings > Configure digiKam > Miscellaneous
2. Now in Widget Style, choose "Cleanlooks"

This will have a simple, readable white text on black background in the tool tip.
