Digikam doesn't show any files, in my Pictures folder I have few pictures in various formats (png, dng, jpeg, tiff...) and Digikam shows none of them. That makes it unusable. Neon (Ubuntu 16.04) 64bit.
It's certainly a packaging problem. It's not reproducible here. Try with Linux universal AppImage bundle available here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier
Anything new here?
new 5.6.0 pre-release as bundle is available here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Please check if this problem still reproducible with these versions. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
digiKam 5.6.0 is now released and available as bundle for Linux, MacOS and Windows. https://www.digikam.org/news/2017-06-21-5.6.0-release-announcement/ Can you check if problem still exists with this version ? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
New digiKam 5.7.0 are built with current implementation as pre-release bundles: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Problem still reproducible ?
Yes, with 5.7.0 in neon. My first attempt to use an existing folder as an album, digikam filled my SSD by going into a loop, creating the same folder within that one, and so on. For example, I had several levels of /home/junfan/Pictures/Pictures/Pictures/Pictures/.... After that, I moved ~/Pictures and created a new ~/Pictures, deleted ~/.local/share/digikam and ~/.config/digicamrc (?) When I relaunched and reconfigured (wizard), I dropped a pic in the folder and under the album, in digikam, it added a blank folder. No files visible.
The appimage for 5.8.0 works
The problem is last Qt 5.9.3 used by digiKam < 5.8.0 which break the album view. We fix the problem in 5.8.0 implementation to be compatible with last Qt release.
