Created attachment 108200 [details] Shows finder window with external HD, digikam window without. Trying to get set up on digikam 5.7.0 on OSX 10.11.6. Going to add my photos folder on my external drive; it's there and accessible via Mac Finder, but digikam interface does not show the external drive. This is supported according to the documentation (collections on removeable drives) - perhaps I am missing something simple? Thanks!
I figured out how to get at this drive by entering the path //volumes/ etc etc. But when I go back into the collections settings, this path has been moved to "Local Collections"...
Hmm. Now it looks like the collection was not added correctly, and digikam freezes when I try to remove it.
This could be related to the fact that we only use the Qt file dialog in digiKam-5.7.0. In digiKam-5.8.0, it is configurable whether the file dialog from system should be used. Gilles, does your test version for OS X already contain this change? Maik
Not yet. The 5.8.0 pkg preview installer for OSX is older than one week. I will recompile it while this week end. Gilles
The new PKG installer about 5.8.0 pre-release for MacOS is available for testing here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier

Enable in the digiKam settings the system file dialog and please try with this version to see if problem is reproducible: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik
I have the same problem. When do you expect to release digiKam-5.8.0 ?
5.8.0 will be ready when all will be tested. For the moment Maik work actively to close many bugzilla files. I'm currently very busy at work, so the release is a little bit delayed. In all case, you can test with current implementation bundled in 5.8.0 pre-release PKG published here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
The 5.8.0 pre-release works fine. Thank you for your involvement.
Thanks for the feedback, I close the bug now. Maik
