I looked at the difference between old and new digikamrc preference file and here is the reason : The DefaultPath parameter in Color Management was set to / instead of empty. Good start time: [Color Management] DefaultPath= Long start time: [Color Management] DefaultPath=/ The bad thing is that I don't know how this parameter changed from empty to / I don't even see this parameter on the preferences panel. If I set the parameter to empty in the digikamrc file, starting time is good. 2482603 1 caulier.gilles 2026-01-07 13:17:24 +0000 Ok I will take a look in a few day to patch the relevant code. Gilles Caulier (who uses macOS too) 2482659 2 metzpinguin 2026-01-07 15:57:30 +0000 We recursively scan for color profiles in iccSettings::Private::scanDirectory(). If you select, for example, the root directory "/" in the settings, or drive "C:\" in Windows, then the entire hard drive is scanned. This takes forever. I think scanning only the selected directory should be sufficient, or limiting the search to subdirectories.
