SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: 15.2 Beta (24C5089c) (intel) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Trying to launch the app manually from the CLI with /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam kind of works, albeit then I get some bogus error message about lack of write permission to ~/Pictures (which in my case is a mount point for a case-sensitive APFS volume, to which I obviously do have write access, as all my other photo apps access it without any issues…), despite the app previously having been given full drive access in Apple’s 'Privacy & Security" settings. I then continued to point the app to ~/Library/Application\ Support/digiKam/ (the last element a folder I created) for the location of the databases, which allowed the app to finally launch. I haven’t been able to use the app yet for anything, but at least I can launch the app from the shell. Even after setup, the app won’t launch by double clicking from the Finder. 2377899 1 caulier.gilles 2024-11-29 12:12:32 +0000 Read well the story from bug 496380 and thanks a lots Apple to make a big puzzle with last MacOS version...
