Hi, while testing stability on windows I was supriesed how good Digikam runs. However after a while it wouldn't start anymore. The Window appears but it doesn't respond at all. I invested some time to find the reason with try and error comparing config files. I found out, that the programm works fine as soon as I take out one single line: StatusBar=Disabled under [General Settings] in the config file C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.kde\share\config\digicamrc Changing it to enabled also does the trick. Greetings Seballa Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Digicam 2. Disable Stautsbar and close 3. Open Digicam
I tried to repoduce this on a different machine both are running Windows10. On the second Machine the problem is not showing up. On the other system I tried a complete remove, and reinstall as well as removing programms I installed in the last weeks. Here the problem is still there.
Did you reproduce the dysfunction under Windows using current digiKam 6.0.0 Windows installer ? Gilles Caulier
Seballa, See the 6.0.0 pre-release windows installer available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Can you reproduce the dysfunction ? Gilles Caulier
Since digiKam 5.0.0, with the port to Qt5, under Windows, the digiKam rc file is now located at C:\Users\user\AppData\local\digikamrc 1/ I start digiKam (version 6.0.0 pre release under Windows 7). 2/ I disable the status bar through the settings menu. The stats bar disappear from main window. 3/ I stop digiKam. "StatusBar=Disabled" is well written in digikamrc file into [General Settings] section. 4/ I restart digiKam. The application appear without status bar and wiyhout run-time problem. 5/ I remove the line with "StatusBar=Disabled" from digikamrc file. 6/ I restart digiKam. The status bar re-appear on the bottom. No problem. So this old dysfunction is now fixed... Gilles Caulier and re-start it.
