why there are several names/icons for digikam? at least on arch, the package install desktop files for digikam, and showfoto
…and what’s worse, they don’t share the data.
Which distro are you talking about?
Is it flatpak/snap? Try install the distro package instead.
On my Solus there’s also two entries.

it is the distro native install, which is arch, which is as close to upstream as one gets (i think).
i think i now see the difference.
showfoto seems to have the UI tweaked to navigate directories, and is supposed to be a darkroom type application.
while digikam seems to be a proper database and galery organizer/management?
I was confused because, besides looking very much alike, they have the same initial wizard and ML data download dialogs when first opened.
The Showfoto section of the Digikam Manual would be helpful here: Overview — Digikam Manual 8.7.0 documentation
