Anders,

Technically, digiKAm have been a KDE application until 3.0.0 as KIO slave was
used to perform serialized database operation. 

We leaves KIOSlave technology as it's not portable outside Linux. Performance
was really bad with large collections. Multithreading was used instead.

Step by step we transform digiKam as a pure Qt5 application. It still KDE API
used mostly with GUI and main view.

digiKam has never shared API with dolphin or other KDE application, excepted
for plugin through KIPI. Now this point was also left as we have a pure Qt5
plugin architecture, more simple, and powerful.

The problem with album tree-view and drag and drop are probably due to bugs in
Qt5 API. Personalty, all work as expected here, i never seen this king of
dysfunction here. And i use all the time the D&d features, and it's a pleasure
with multi-screens.

Note: here you will see the list of KDE API dependencies used by digiKam. As
you can see, digiKam always depends of KDE (KF5 components), even if less API
calls are used :
