--- Comment #9 from xela <stdc...@null.net> ---
I filed this bug today & it is merged into this thread.
I'm using digikam under manjaro kde 20.+ kernel 5.6.16-1, & it works fun so far
this is why I would try its windows 64bit version under my dual boot windows 10

as i stated in my bug report, i installed into d:\software
i thought the installer would add \digikam to the end of the dest folder as
most of other software would do
but i could not find its shortcut in the startmenu, then i went to the install
folder d:\software but find loads of files under it, rather than supposed
d:\software\digikam
then i decided to uninstall it & reinstall to d:\software\digikam
this was the start of the disaster
after clicking the confirmation button, the uninstaller started to delete
everything under d:\software
i didn't noticed this until i felt it took so long to perform an uninstall
but no options to stop this uninstall - no cancel button, no window close
button except the minimize button on the top right corner of the dialog
then everything was gone - my installed programs, my database, my emails, my
websites ...
and i couldn't recover them so far, & was afraid to log onto windows just in
case the deleted files on the hard disk were covered 

but fortunately, i haven't used it to mange my photos, 'cause if these photos
were deleted then i will lose them forever

based on my mere knowledge of linux, the uninstall option is more like the
linux cmd: rm -rf

hopefully this issue could be solved asap & windows users/downloaders should be
notified before installing
