Comment 5 for bug 580902

Bug is fixed in Digikam 1.3.0 you can get it from PPA archives, follow instructions from this blog:

http://scribblesandsnaps.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/install-the-latest-version-of-digikam-on-ubuntu-10-04/

after installing digikam you will have to also do a dist-upgrade to install new KDE4 libraries and seems like Digikam thumbnails database is not compatible with 1.3.0 so you will have to regenerate it.

Other than that it works great!
