Is home used as database path or album path? What is the output of the "Root Album Path: " and "Database Path: " debug outputs on the console before the crash?
SVN commit 899772 by mwiesweg: Ensure that no empty dbPath can be set CCBUG: 178251 M +3 -0 albummanager.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=899772
Mark, Are you seen comment #1 from Marcel ? Also, test again with current implementation from svn... Gilles Caulier
Mark, No news here ??? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 30236 [details] screen shot With beta8 I am unable to reproduce the crash. However the dialog could be cleaned up... See attached.
The default file path is taken from KGlobalSettings::picturesPath(). On OpenSuse this is empty; in this case $HOME/Pictures is suggested. If the global settings really want to return $HOME here, it is used. (I see no more objection not to use $HOME if you really want, although it should not be the default; but see above about choosing the default)
SVN commit 911111 by mwiesweg: Fix some usability problems with the FirstRun dialog: - if errors occur, do not exit, but return to dialog (requires to reimplement KDialog::slotButtonPressed, default implementation will always accept after Ok) - remove check to refuse using $HOME as album root. I think, if the user really wants, we are a free country. Any objections? - When a directory is chosen for album root, change default database directory to this as well (unless user changed it before) BUG: 178251 M +63 -24 digikamfirstrun.cpp M +5 -4 digikamfirstrun.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=911111
