Hi!

I could not immediately reproduce the crash on a Fedora 43 (Kinoite) system that I had in reach. Could you add additional information about the bug?

Most importantly, a crash dump would be handy. Can you add the output of `coredumpctl info kphotoalbum`?

Cheers,
  Johannes

Hello, I am a Linux beginner but will do what you suggest and hope it 
works. I have made a textfile

out of the result and send you this as a attachment.

Thanks for sending the coredump information.

It looks like you copied the text and pasted it to the textfile, and like some information was cut off. Could you do the same command again, but without copy&pasting?

You can redirect the output from the command into a text-file using the ">" symbol like this:
coredumpctl info kphotoalbum > kphotoalbum-crashinfo.txt

Afterwards, there should be a file "kphotoalbum-crashinfo.txt" that contains the full information...

Hello,

herewith the coredump info.

However, kphotoalbum suddenly could open my photofolder. There were some 
updates from Fedora.

But it still has no plugins and the scanned old photos which i scanned 
with a Nikon scanner

are not seen. Also photos i took with a Samsung tablet are not seen and 
thus not included in the photobase.

They are seen by digiKam and Shotwell

Regards,
