Description mathieu.sauzay 2025-03-21 16:31:52 UTC

SUMMARY
I updated digicam from 8.5 to 8.6, and it crashed during startup. Going back to 8.5 works. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start from a working 8.5 version on windows
2. Upgrade to 8.6
3. Launch the application => Crash
4. uninstall everything,
5. delete digikam files
6. install mariadb
7. install 8.6, and configure it to use internal MySQL instead of SQLite
8. seems to be working fine

=> Bug seems to be related to SQLite

OBSERVED RESULT
Splash screen appears, then disappears. process crashes.

Sorry, but now it's fixed by changing the database engine, I won't break it again. The person how asked to open a ticket should have mentioned it at the same time... I f you cannot reproduce the issue, then close it.

Then I suggest we cancel (close?) this issue. I won't break everything again to reproduce the bug : digikam has been processing my photos for more than 12 hours now, and probably has 12 more hours to go ar least. I won't break it again.
