SUMMARY
Digikam crashes after trying to run a DLNA Media Server

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Tools / Share with DLNA 
2.  Select an album
3.  Click "Start" (in the dialog "Share Files with DLNA Media server")

OBSERVED RESULT

- MacOS opens its dialog where you have to allow incoming connections for a program when trying to run a server for the first time
- Dialog dissapears before one can click on anything
- Digikam crashes 

EXPECTED RESULT
- I can click on the Macos dialog to allow digikam to run a server 
- Digikam starts a DLNA media server

as an alternative (if lacking time/resources to deal with the mac security system):
- Digikam displays "this tool is unfortunately not available on mac os. Try running digikam under linux ;-)
