When a new user starts digikam, and uses their $HOME dir (which isn't recommended) I get the following crash:

Comment 1 Marcel Wiesweg 2008-12-20 20:50:55 UTC
Is home used as database path or album  path?
What is the output of the "Root Album Path: " and "Database Path: " debug outputs on the console before the crash?

Mark,

Are you seen comment #1 from Marcel ?

Also, test again with current implementation from svn...

With beta8 I am unable to reproduce the crash.

However the dialog could be cleaned up...  See attached.
Comment 6 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-01-14 21:49:59 UTC
The default file path is taken from KGlobalSettings::picturesPath().
On OpenSuse this is empty; in this case $HOME/Pictures is suggested. If the global settings really want to return $HOME here, it is used.
(I see no more objection not to use $HOME if you really want, although it should not be the default; but see above about choosing the default)
Comment 7 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-01-14 22:23:50 UTC
SVN commit 911111 by mwiesweg:

Fix some usability problems with the FirstRun dialog:
- if errors occur, do not exit, but return to dialog
  (requires to reimplement KDialog::slotButtonPressed, default implementation will always accept after Ok)
- remove check to refuse using $HOME as album root. I think, if the user really wants,
  we are a free country. Any objections?
- When a directory is chosen for album root, change default database directory
  to this as well (unless user changed it before)
