Description Lukáš Doktor 2017-02-27 13:04:27 UTC 
Hello guys,

due the QtAV change I'm trying the appimage version. Apart of the https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375651 bug I see other (more pressing) issue, which is that "right click->open with" does not work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run digikam: /opt/digikam/digikam-5.4.0-01-x86-64.appimage
2. right click on an image
3. select "open with" (translated from "Otevřít pomocí")
4. select a program (I tried gimp and eog)

Actual result:
nothing happens, in log I see a message:
/usr/bin/eog: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Reference_Face

I tried running digikam with:
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6" /opt/digikam/digikam-5.4.0-01-x86-64.appimage which helps the gimp/eog issue, but I'm still unable to open videos in "mplayer", the message is:

    /usr/bin/mplayer: /tmp/.mount_yPjEvF/usr/lib/libva.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib64/libavutil.so.55)
    /usr/bin/mplayer: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libavutil.so.55: undefined symbol: vaQuerySurfaceAttributes

and when I try totem it fails with unsupported codec even though the video works well when running directly.

This brings me back to the original issue which is I'm unable to play videos from Digikam even though I was able to use it in previous versions (with occasional crashes, but still that's better than the current situation).

Do you please know of any way to make appimage and system-wide applications to work together? Alternatively would it be possible to revert the QtAV support?

I forgot to mention that I'm running Fedora 25 on x86_64.

The QtAV revert will never done.

With next 5.5.0 release, the video player work as expected now. If you want to test, AppImage is here :

Well this is not really a duplicate as that user claims it works on images. For me it does not open images, nor videos.

I tried the Digikam-5.5.0-01 from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM which does not even produce the:

    /usr/bin/eog: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Reference_Face"

lines, there are only the few:

    XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2

produced after the right-click. Would you please take a look at this feature? Usually the built-in editor is enough, but sometimes I need to use gimp.

PS: Yes, the sound has been fixed in 5.5.0 (big thanks for that) but I'm wondering whether that build has some debug enabled, because reading the database takes 120s compare to 5.4.0 which starts in 4s.
