The browser form is displayed for a few seconds and then it disappear along with Digikam. The two associated digiKam-9.0.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage processes are however still running. Restarting Digikam will create two new digiKam-9.0.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage processes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Clisk on Help -> Check for New Version... 2. Click on the "Help" button on the bottom left of the dialog 3. The built-in browser window with no content appears 4. After a few seconds (less than), the browser and Digikam windows disappear. OBSERVED RESULT No help content is displayed and Digikam window disappear EXPECTED RESULT The help content should have been displayed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS digiKam: 9.0.0 KDE Frameworks: 6.20.0 Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1 AppImage Linux Mint 22.3 (Xcb) Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 Kernel: linux 6.17.0-19-generic ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2504338 1 caulier.gilles 2026-03-18 14:13:00 +0000 Which dialog exactly ? From a About plugin for ex ? 2504344 2 kde.815954 2026-03-18 14:37:34 +0000 The problem appears from any location where I click on the "Help" button. Here are a few locations where it happens; * On the main screen of Digikam, * Click on Help -> Check for New Version... -> Help * Click on Settings -> Help * Click on Tools -> Maintenance... -> Help * View -> Presentation... -> Help -> Online Handbook... Each time help is requested, I temporarily see what looks like a terminal window and it is replaced by a browser window that goes away (along Digikam) after a few seconds. I use "htop" to kill the Digikam main process and then I restart Digikam. 2504414 3 metzpinguin 2026-03-18 17:24:29 +0000 Git commit 377a8ad4d0afd2b565789b7928d16ae4f70ed632 by Maik Qualmann.
