EXPECTED RESULT

compare images should be possible

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

macOS: 10.14.5
Comment 1 Michael Kefeder 2019-05-27 08:11:54 UTC 
Problem were security settings from macOS disallowing access to Pictures.

workaround: 
- quit digikam
- remove database (rm ~/Pictures/digikam4.db)
- start digikam, this triggers "digikam wants access to your pictures" in macOS
- once access is granted lighttable works again

I only use lighttable as for the rest I use darktable instead of digikam, hence I did not notice the access rights problem. Access problem shows when trying to view picture in digikam, no error or feedback in lighttable though. Since thumbnails are shown application looked to be working...
