Version: 1.4.0 (using KDE 4.5.1)
OS: Linux

I've recently got a Netbook on which I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with digikam
I added unity interface through https://edge.launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une repository

When using digikam with unity session, I "lost" export menu ...
For now, it's the only thing I found missing but I didn't make a lot of tests.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a foo user account
launch digikam
check menu bar

Actual Results:
missing export menu entry

Expected Results:
have export menu

I'm not too familiar with the menu code (and can't check right now), but the only possible thing that comes to mind that may affect showing/hiding that menu, would be dynamic detection of kipi-plugins presence. Because if you do not have these installed, there's no plugin for export. So, check if you have properly installed kipi-plugins (and libkipi) packages. If yes, then it may be very well bug of the Unity itself. Anyway, try to enable devel output for digikam (run kdebugdialog, find all digikam instances and enable them all, then run digikam from console/terminal simply by typing digikam and hitting enter key) and post all the output you'll get from launching to fully loaded state. Thanks!

[Julien-t43+kde (julien-t43+kde)]

kipi is installed

$ dpkg -l |grep kipi
ii kipi-plugins 1.4.0-0ubuntu2 image manipulation/handling plugins for KIPI aware programs
ii kipi-plugins-common 1.4.0-0ubuntu2 kipi-plugins architecture-independent data
ii libkipi7 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3 library for apps that want to use kipi-plugins (runtime version)

I will try kdebugdialog

digikam output with unity ubuntu desktop

'grep menu' has some output compared to previous one

[Martin Klapetek (martin-klapetek)]

Ok, plugins are definitely loaded. So can you please try run normal desktop without Unity and see if the menu is there?

[Julien-t43+kde (julien-t43+kde)]

I already test it. Export menu is present when I use normal desktop, not unity. That's why I attached both debug, to compare them.

[Martin Klapetek (martin-klapetek)]

They are pretty much the same, the 'grep menu' output is actually not from digikam, but rather from kde services (kbuildsycoca4). You may try to update to a newer version of digikam (highly recomended), 1.7.0 is out or you may also try out the new 2.0 beta1 with some cool new features. Anyway I'd say it's Unity bug, there's nothing we can do from our side, sorry. File a bug with Ubuntu's Unity.

As tested by someone on Ubuntu Precise, they see the "Export" option in the Menu. Seems like it's fixed in the latest development version

[Rohan Garg (rohangarg)]

This seems to have been fixed in Precise, could you please test and report back?

Thanks!

[Julien (julien-t43)]

Sorry, I have switched to lubuntu (11.10) so can't test. Not affected anymore.
