Snap and Flat packages are poor choices for digiKam. Both package variants use a sandbox and are limited to your home directory. Use our AppImage, just make it executable and start it. Maik Many thanks for the quick response. I'm going to try that out right away! Until now I thought that all packages were the same. Linux is probably much more complex than I know Windows + MacOS. This incredible diversity is great!

Please look at the digikam.org warning : https://www.digikam.org/download/binary/#linux-sandbox The documentation about the Flatpak permissions can be read here : https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html You can also report the problem as an UPSTREAM bug to the Flathub team : https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.digikam/issues Alternative : uses the Linux AppImage bundle that we provide : https://www.digikam.org/download/ |
Created attachment 164654 [details] First Screenshoot SUMMARY *** When installing digiKam, I would like to select a folder on a second hard drive as the default directory. The path to the drive does not exist *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. First I install DigiKam 8.2 under Flatpak 2. I start the initialization 3. I cannot set the default directory because the corresponding path is missing: mnt/harddrive/folder. See "First Screenshoot" Addition: Installation via Snap's package source works perfectly. Unfortunately only an older version (8.1.0) is available there.
