I recommend the 9.1.0 pre-release which include bug-fix only compared to the last 9.0.0 just released few weeks ago. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ 2504390 2 arojas 2026-03-18 16:40:30 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 517733 *** 2504398 3 dev.schroeder.soft 2026-03-18 16:48:40 +0000 Switching to AppImage worked.

I do it! Downgrade the libexiv2 and Showfoto/Digicam and Gwenview work again! I will Hold in Synaptic the pack libexiv2 to the build version Until the New version with Fix comming out! Using Appimage is a alternative soluttion But with this Bug I have many problems in Dolphin and other programs, i will not Keep using the Bug Version of libexiv2 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1 but the build version that works fine until new updates! Thanks for all!
