All my photos are located in directory /Pictures/DigiCam/ I use DigiKam software to view and manage my photos.
One day when I launched DigiKam to view and update same pictures, I been notified that working directory does not exist!
While I looked at directory with file manager I saw there file named DigiCam instead directory DigiCam!.
Exactly same event happen few mounts ago, on same computer with same software.

That is certainly a horrible bug. [Digikam suggests](https://www.digikam.org/support/) filing [a bug report here](https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided&product=digikam). There’s a bit of friction with the KDE.org account requirement but, given the seriousness of this bug, I’m sure a lot of fellow Digikam users would appreciate it if you reported the problem

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
