Actual Results:

Comment 2 Rafael Linux User 2012-07-24 08:48:27 UTC
I don't have gdb (is NOT included in the installation) and didn't use it before. Could you guide me , please?
Comment 3 Rafael Linux User 2012-07-24 11:28:20 UTC
I tried to debug with WinDbg, with 2 options, "Open executable" and "Attach to process",  but this is what I got ....

Comment 4 Rafael Linux User 2012-07-24 11:37:48 UTC
That was with "Attach to process" from WinDBG (so I can't get to open any dialog cause WinDBG blocked digikam).

With "Open executable", this is what I got (and digikam doesn't appear)

Please, no one will help me then?
Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2012-08-02 10:29:03 UTC
Look like it miss an internal windows dll file in your system  :

*** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found.  Defaulted to export symbols for C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll - 

The question is why ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 7 Rafael Linux User 2012-08-02 10:53:14 UTC
I don't know why. The file is there and even in more directories (sysnow64
for example). I'm admin on this Windows 7 x64 and really have no idea
what's the problem, cause I didn't use a debugger before.

Thank you
Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2012-08-02 11:27:25 UTC
Perhaps it's not the right version of DLL

Gilles Caulier
Comment 9 Andrew Goodbody 2012-08-02 18:25:14 UTC
The issue with ntdll.dll is that WinDbg cannot find the symbols for printing in the backtrace. You can configure WinDbg to automatically download any Windows symbols it needs. See the article at this link http://features.techworld.com/operating-systems/3275067/solving-windows-7-crashes-with-debugging-tools/?pn=2
This does not explain why the code is ending up at the breakpoint though.

Ananta,

Any idea about the problem under windows DLL ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 13 Rafael Linux User 2012-08-06 09:31:20 UTC
I have no idea about Windows libraries. Could it be related to x64
platform? Is digikam working right on Windows x64?
Comment 14 caulier.gilles 2012-08-06 09:40:25 UTC
yes, it run fine on my Toshiba Z830 Win7 64bits ultrabook...

Comment 15 Rafael Linux User 2012-08-06 09:48:42 UTC
So we are now in a no exit road. I try again and again to lauch Digikam, but always, any time I try to open a file dialog, it appear for 2 seconds and finally, Digikam is closed. I'll give up.

:(

Do you have any external devices for plugged in, such as SD cards, USB devices, etc.? If so, try unplugging all of them and restarting your computer. Then run digiKam and test again. I'm wondering if this is related to problems some users have when starting digiKam with some external devices mounted.
Comment 17 Rafael Linux User 2012-08-06 20:07:54 UTC
Thank you Ananta.

I must say that I have no one storage device to my Dell, only mouse and
keyboard. But I'm agree with you. Is the fact of showing storage drives.
I'm thinking on trying to unattach logical drives of my Windows net, cause
that could be a cause.

Thank you any way!!!!!! I will report tomorrow about this try.

I detached logical drives, but it did not solve the problem.

New digiKam 4.11.0 is available :

Can you reproduce the problem with this release ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 20 Rafael Linux User 2015-06-29 10:47:27 UTC
Hi. Please, WHERE is available for Windows? Here http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/ there is not version 4.11 available for Windows. Or I can't see it al least.
Comment 21 caulier.gilles 2015-06-29 10:58:14 UTC
4.11.0 will be compiled in few days by Ananta.

Else, 4.10.0 installer can be used for a first try...

With next digiKam 5.0.0, we will provide a fully cross-compiled version Windows under Linux where a lots of problems have been fixed.
