Created attachment 141086 [details]
Colour bar with black artefacts

SUMMARY
Cannot look at (let alone attempt to configure) Settings without the application crashing and closing.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a fresh install of ShowFoto 7.1.0
2. Select "Settings" on top menu bar
3. Select "Configure Showfoto" from drop-down list of options

OBSERVED RESULT
Application simply closes


EXPECTED RESULT
Application should stay open; lists of options to configure Showfoto should appear


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Ubuntu 21.04
64-bit
Gnome version 3.38.5
Widowing System X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried using the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+, but this has the same result.
I have Digikam 7.1.0 installed, and this does not suffer from the same problem.
The reason I was attempting to look at my configuration is that I have recently encountered some strange behaviour. When I select "Colour" from the top menu and then "Auto-corretion", weird black artefacts are introduced: see the attached iamge. These artefacts are not in the image itlsef, and are only visible within the ShowFoto interface.

Can you reproduce this problem using digiKam 7.3.0 AppImage. Showfoto can be started from command line using "showfoto" as argument. see details here :

The artifacts come from the over and under exposure display, look at the icons at the bottom right.

Thank you. This was indeed the problem. I guess I must have changed these settings accidentally.

Thank you for your kind help. I seem not to have quite eough technical know-how to do this. 

I found the digiKam-7.4.0-20210815T231101-x86-64.appimage (but not the digiKam-7.3.0-20210815T231101-x86-64.appimage). 

I was able to download and make it executable, but have not been successful in running it. I get this:
-- Preloading shared libs: :/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so.0
digikam: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.65' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_digiKacun424/usr/lib/libsmime3.so)

But now that the "artefacts" issue is resolved, it is not important to me to be able to change my configuration, so there is no need for you to spend more time on this for my benefit.
Thanks again.

The digiKam-7.3.0 AppImage requires a very current Linux version, we already have bug reports on it. The digiKam-7.2.0 AppImage was created under an older Linux version, and yes, just make it executable and start it.
