digiKam intentionally does not delete its configuration so that it can be reused. Set the path to the new ExifTool installation in the setup. Or delete the old digikamrc file beforehand. https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html#configuration-files Maik |
Created attachment 191532 [details] Screenshot of warning SUMMARY On launch, there's a warning that "ExifTool is not available in your digiKam installation...." STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch digiKam OBSERVED RESULT On launch, there's a warning that "ExifTool is not available in your digiKam installation...." EXPECTED RESULT No warning because exiftool.exe is confirmed present in the digiKam installation folder. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Speculating that this could be because I installed v9 on a D: drive (i.e. D:\Program Files\digiKam) whereas the previous version v8 was installed on C: drive. Perhaps the location of the exiftool.exe is stored in the database used with v8 which is now wrong for v9. Hitting the Change button and browsing for the v9 exiftool.exe location in settings fixes the issue.
