Description pbhj 2018-03-10 18:33:26 UTC
"Checking for updates...
Could not find update information in the AppImage. Please contact the author of the AppImage and ask them to embed update information."

Using the AppImageUpdate program on Ubuntu (with KDE) 17.10 the Digikam appimage `digikam-5.8.0-01-x86-64.appimage` is reported as not having the necessary information available to perform an update, see above.

Expected action, AppImageUpdate finds the necessary metadata to perform an update request and, in this instance, report that the app is up to date.

What's is that ??? The AppImage provide an option somewhere to check for update ? This is unknown from the process to generate the bundle and not supported currently (not planed in fact...)

How did you reproduce the problem. What's the desktop, the linux box, the version of the system ?

Also, please try with the new 6.0.0 pre-release AppImage available here :

Good news,

After 2 weeks of works, the Linux AppImage bundle 64 bits is now reconstructed from scratch with:

- All OpenCV options for CUDA, OPenMP, and OPenCL disabled
- A large upgrade of Qt5 from 5.9.7 to 5.11.3.
- An upgrade to KF5 5.55.
- An upgrade to Ffmpeg 3.3.9
- The fontconfig/freetype integration in the bundle to reduce system dependencies


Files can be downloaded here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please test and report.

Thanks in advance

PhilV,

After 3 weeks of work, i finally completed the compilation of AppImage using Qt 5.11.3 + QWebkit 5.212.

New 6.1.0 pre-release AppImage bundle can be found here (64 bits only for the
moment) :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please check if the problem remain.

I close this file as the AppImage native embedded way is not supported anymore.

To integrate the AppImage bundle in Linux desktop, you can use the AppImageLauncher application.
