Description Kostevich Arseniy 2025-07-10 12:59:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
Digikam crashes when trying to start scanning, if no album is selected.

2. Open digikam -> Import -> Import from Scanner

OBSERVED RESULT
The app crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
The scan starts successfully

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: ALT Workstation K 11.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When you first start the program, you are prompted to select a directory for saving images (By default, /home/<user>/Images).
After the setup is completed, the album "Images" is created.
If you try to start scanning immediately after setting up (without explicitly selecting an album in the interface), the error is reproduced. 
If you click on any album in the Albums section, the error will not be reproduced.
I am attaching a video with a reproduction of the error.

How did you do it exactly under digiKam. The album select dialog is always displayed to save the current scanned image.

Defenitively, we need a screencast of the dysfunction...
