Created attachment 145098 [details]
screengrab of my computer screen with the warning about the plugins

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just downloaded the digiKam 7.4.0 app.  Everything installed fine.  Did a Restart.  Upon opening app, get a warning.
2. Warning on screen states that "No plugins were loaded, please check if the plugins were installed in one of the following paths:  System Path:  C:/Program Files/digiKam     Local Path:  C:/Users/noels/AppData/Local/.marble/plugins     Also check if the plugin is compiled against the right version of Marble.  Analyzing the debut messages inside a debugger might give more insight.
3.  This warning appears every time the app is launched.  But then the app opens.  Because I am just now starting to use it, I do not really know if there is anything wrong.

OBSERVED RESULT
This warning is popping up every time I launch the app on the desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
Do not know what to do with this info.  Have verified that the plugins are loaded correctly in the System Path.  But the "Local Path" is not there as described as far as I can see.  And I do not know what "Marble" is.
