Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2021-10-08 15:52:08 UTC
We need at least the console trace captured with DebugView as explained here :

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2021-10-08 19:58:45 UTC
I installed Windows 11 in a Virtualbox on Linux. I had to bypass the TPM check with a registry entry during the installation. I was able to install our current developer version of digiKam-7.4.0 from http://files.kde.org/digikam and run the setup. The binary files were downloaded correctly. Adding a network collection also works. A short test shows no problems, digiKam works here under Windows 11 without any problems.

Comment 4 Maik Qualmann 2021-10-08 20:34:26 UTC
The official digiKam-7.3.0 version also works here under Windows 11 without any problems. A DebugView Log with activated Debug environment variable is therefore required as requested in Comment 1 by Gilles, since we cannot reproduce the problem.

Before you test the developer version digiKam-7.4.0, make a backup of the database, as a database update is being carried out.

Thanks for the information.
I have installed 7.4.0. Ran fine on Windows 10.

Then upgraded to Windows 11 - (No reinstalling Win11).

All programs run under Windows 11

BUT NOT digikam 7.4.0

I then downloaded digikam again and reinstalled but:

after clicking on the button, a small blue circle rotates, but after about 7 seconds it goes out , nothing else happens. digikam does not open.

Is this only with me ???

Do I have to go back to Windows 10 now?

Greetings

Hmm, it's strange. I have already tested digiKam on 3 Windows 11 computers. However, all 3 computer installations were hacked with disabled TPM detection.

After I clicked on digikam to open it, the following warning appears:



I click on "Yes".
Then the small blue circle appears again, it rotates, after 6 seconds it is gone and nothing happens.

Also the "details" link in this dialog can be informative.

Link to infamous TMP technology : https://www.easeus.com/knowledge-center/tpm-for-windows11-update.html

Microsoft or how to increase complexity of computer in time, step by step... 

Of course digiKam for Windows as nothing to do with TMP.

Comment 19 Maik Qualmann 2021-12-14 13:47:25 UTC
My idea with TPM is that when the TPM is active, apps that are not signed are blocked.

Windows 11 cannot currently be installed on a computer without TPM 2.0 ... without hacking.

No, it's not signed.

To do it, you need to pay to be registered to the Microsoft Store, and you need to use Microsoft Compiler under Windows to generate binary.

1/ We will not pay for an open source project
2/ We cross compile to 100% the binaries under Linux. No Windows is used at all. This prevent virus and it's more simple for the continuous deployment (aka Windows for developer is a mess).

so, now I'm back on Windows 10 and immediately I clicked on digikam....... and it worked fine.

A great program. Much better than Photoshop Organizer. It often crashes, is slow and inflexible.

If you learn that digikam works on Windows 11, I would be happy to hear from you.

Have a good evening.

Thank you for forgetting me and offering me a solution here.

However, I do not understand what is an "env.var".
Can it be that I should insert the file "digikam_globals_bundles.cpp" somewhere and how?
Just copy and then paste where?

Comment 28 caulier.gilles 2022-01-07 12:25:11 UTC
Hi,

In fact it's simple. I suspect that the DrMinGW code for Windows, responsible to catch crash and report information at run-time, can be not yet compatible with Windows 11. The last version published that i updated in Windows installer was published at April 2021.

The small code can be disabled with an environment variable set before to start digiKam. All technical details are explained here to add a new variable in your Windows account. In fact it just a variable name with a key.

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/system-user-environment-variables-windows

The variable is "DK_DISABLE_DRMINGW" and the value to set is "1". that all. When digiKam start, it check if variable exists in your account. If yes, DrMinGW is not initialized.

Comment 29 caulier.gilles 2022-01-07 12:28:26 UTC

Dear Gilles,
I have installed digikam 7.5.0. Then the variable DK_DISABLE_DRMINGW" and the value to set is "1 set up.
Then again let the automatic installation set up Windows 11 (several hours).... and now, digikam 7.5.0 is installed on my Windows 11,- automatically taken over- but when I want to start it, the blue circle rotates about 10 seconds, otherwise nothing happens.

Now I have to go back to Windows 10.

Strange, all other programs were taken over without problems and run perfectly.
When I went back to Windows 10 twice before, digikam also opened immediately without a problem.

I guess I have no choice but to stay with Windows 10.

Too bad.

Have a nice evening

Dear Gilles,
is there any news for my problem, digiKam does not open under Windows 11?

Is there this problem also on other PC's?
I want to keep my PC always up to date, so I also want to install Windows 11, but only with digiKam.
Thanks

Hi,

Look bug #443484 which is a duplicate.

As i can see, some Windows 11 installation are problematic. Reverting to Windows 10 fix the problem.

Here my Windows 11 VM (virtualbox) has no problem with digiKam... I must admit that i'm a little lost here...

Hello Gilles,

you just told me that this problem is also with others, and the solution would be to go back to Windows 10.

Today, 1 hour ago, I received the latest update for my Windows 10 and when I wanted to open digiKam now, it no longer works!!!!!!, behaves the same as Windows 11. The blue circle rotates a few seconds and then stops.

Is there no solution????
And it's only with digiKam, all the others, even the free ones, work fine.

It would be a real shame if I had to go back to Adobe Organizer now.

Greetings Manfred

This is my Windows:

Version 21H2

If the installer said that digiKam already running, well a digikam.exe process
must be present in memory. Right ?

If you force to install digiKam when a digikam.exe still running in memory (for ex as a zombie process), the digikam.exe will not be updated on file system. Of course, at run time, it will not work properly...

I tried twice, once with "End Task", then installed - no success.

Then with "End process structure", the same result.

I noticed that when I install a new program, it always appears at the top of the Windows "Start" window, but digiKam does not appear there. I have to look for it under the listing of all installed programs, there it is, but also from there it can not be opened.


Here under „Zuletzt hinzugefügt“  should be digiKam

Windows 11 Some apps and settings do not start - KB5006746 helps partially
Author's avatar moinmoin November 3, 2021 08:03 Windows 11 9 Comments
[Update 11/5/2021]: Microsoft has now provided KB5008295 for Windows 11, which fixes the problem with certificates and apps not starting. This also includes the Snipping Tool.
[Original 3.11.21]: Not only in our Windows 11 forum some people complained that for example the Snipping Tool does not start. The reason for this is an expired certificate. The app First Steps, Touch Keyboard, Speech Input and the Emoji Panel are also affected.
As well as the accounts page and settings. Here, however, only in S mode. The reason for this is an expired certificate. The fact that not everyone is affected is due to the fact that some had already installed KB5006746 as an optional update. The update renews the certificate.

Others were "lucky" that Microsoft quickly withdrew the update for the apps and it was not yet installed. Those who should be affected can install the update. According to Microsoft, all problems are corrected except for the Snipping Tool. Here, it would only help to reset the date before October 31. However, that is certainly not exactly advantageous. Microsoft writes: "We are working on a solution and will keep you updated as soon as we have more information."

I have a laptop here and updated to the latest Windows 10. digiKam is still running without problems. I see in your signature that you are using "Avast Antivirus Software". I would uninstall these. The Microsoft Defender is included in Windows 10, this is not the yellow of the egg either, but in many tests by computer magazines the Defender shows better detection than some paid antivirus solutions. From my daily practice I can say that Avast likes to "block" something and makes the system much slower.

An AMD CPU or GPU will not be the cause here. I already see in many forums that digiKam is used on Windows 11. It must be related to your installation.

Manfreid,

I don't take a look about the AVAST note from your comments.

Maik is right here. It's possible this AV block digikam.exe for an ...unknown reason...

Please check first if AVAST report an error somewhere in logs.
Also, disabling the AV to check if the application is blocked is the right way to do.

Note : digiKam do not include a virus, it safe. It's not compiled under Windows, but on Linux for this security reason (it's my personal computer (:=))).

I have just uninstalled AVAST.
After the restart digikam opened properly.

However, I had not tried digiKam today before uninstalling AVAsT.

Now it would be interesting to switch back to Windows 11.
Do you think it could work there without AVAST?

When you close digiKam, wait a little bit, and check if digikam.exe still in memory.

If yes, this want mean that application is not closed properly. This is why you cannot start it again. It's another problem.

Dear Gilles,

I'm afraid I've lost digiKam.
When I opened another program after restarting, digiKam no longer opens.

And doing an extra restart every time is certainly not the solution.

I'll leave it installed, switch to Windows 11 and then work with Adobe Elements Organizer. (I don't like it that much, but it works).

I will always try digiKam in between. If you find a solution, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks so much for your help, I appreciated you taking the time to do this.

All the best
Manfred

Dear Gilles,

a very joyful news!!!

digikam runs with me again-- flawlessly and as good as never!!!

How did that happen?

I gave my PC a new M.2 SSD NVME and reinstalled Windows 11 there.  From the ISO. 
No upgrade, not cloned.

However, I then had to reinstall all my programs, including digikam.  But with what success. Great. by the new SSD everything runs faster and much more stable (possibly also by WIN 11).

So it was not digikam, but somewhere on my PC.

One thing though I can't get right in digikam: Find duplicates .

Even if I have intentionally copied and pasted a picture (with a different file name) I don't get any duplicates.

Do I have to search for all fingerprints first? But that takes a very, very long time, even with a few hundred images.

Can you tell me how to do that?


Thanks a lot

Greetings manfred

Hi,

Great to hear that run time is now fixed under your Windows 11 computer.

About Fuzzy searches, yes, it needs to compute finger-prints to process similarity jobs. Yes it's time consuming, but since 7.3.0 if i remember, paralelized tasks must be operate on multi-core computer. What's the CPU idle during finger-print calculations ?

About Fuzzy searches, yes, it needs to compute finger-prints to process
similarity jobs. Yes it's time consuming, but since 7.3.0 if i remember,
paralelized tasks must be operate on multi-core computer. What's the CPU idle
during finger-print calculations ?

First i want to look for a example only in one Album with 12 fotos and two dublicates. And it seems digikam was Looking for my Pictures .

Now i click to „the whole albumsammlung“  and it was very quick to Show me a lot of Fotos. 
Now i will Control the result.
