Where did you take the Windows installer exactly ? Git commit 1143bd77e92364a96f2ad66da9170697c29d5b0e by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 22/06/2023 at 06:05.

From the Nightly builds page you previously linked me to on a different bug ;) https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Digikam_Nightly_win64/ I chose the Nightly build as the regular release needs admin permissions for installation on Windows, and I don't have admin permissions on the affected PC. The Nightly build from https://binary-factory.kde.org is a pure test version and not recommended for productive use. Although this version has a valid signature due to the compilation with the MSVC compiler and the KDE infrastructure.. But it is a fully automatic build with many missing functions. No HEIF or JPEG2000 support, no MySQL support and much more. We strongly recommend using digiKam from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ The defender message can be ignored, there was a problem with users who downloaded the debug version not starting. The problem is solved and the debug version is not needed for log messages.

Is there any way to install them under non-admin permissions, perhaps to %appdata% instead? Ah nvm. I just realized the folder you linked to has portable builds in it. So I'll just have to manually install it to my user folder. Thanks for the details! Aaaack. Now I can't uninstall the Nightly build due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470391 *sigh* Yes, unfortunately another problem of the Nightly version. It doesn't work even after a reboot. We have limited control over how the installer is configured in this build. Since we don't write anything in Windows or in the registry (the installer creates a path), simply delete the directory, which is probably not easy to do without admin rights. Maik No worries, I was able to find and kill the orphan process using Process Explorer. I've switched to portable digiKam release now. It appears to support HEIC files as you promised. I'll see how the next import attempt goes. Thanks! However, the current version from 06/18/2023 does not yet contain the fix from your bug report. Maik You said "yet", so I'm optimistic. Cautiously, haha. (In reply to Judah Richardson from comment #9) > No worries, I was able to find and kill the orphan process using Process > Explorer. I've switched to portable digiKam release now.

So I tried importing a few JPGs into the portable stable 8.1.0 version of digiKam just now and folderization failed there too despite the ISO standard option being checked. Any ideas? Reopening this ... False alarm: was using a portable nightly build and not the stable build as I'd thought. Stable build doesn't have the issue. |
