Hello, I have downloaded the 5.9 release as appimage and so far I can see, all works perfectly only printing is not possible. Selecting Print Image in the ImageEditor I get the Print Image window and there I can select the printer desired out of the list. The I can set the properties and the options of this printer. Then clicking the Print button, nothing at all happens. Printing to File (PDF) instead works normally. Using the older release 5.6 let me print without problems, but there are the known problems with the selection of page sizes.
I can also confirm the problem for the digiKam-6.0.0 AppImage. The problem does not occur with the native digiKam version. unknown: QPainter::begin(): Returned false unknown: QPainter::viewport: Painter not active Digikam::PrintOptionsPage::alignment: alignment= 132 unknown: QPainter::setViewport: Painter not active unknown: QPainter::setWindow: Painter not active Maik
Maik, There is nothing special about printing support in AppImage. Excepted the Qt5 version to update, i don't see any special settings to turn on at Qt configuration time. Or i'm miss something ? Gilles

Yes, but with the older Release 5.6 there are problems with the printing format. Now, with the 5.9 all looks very fine except this problem with printing. Any idea when and how it will bs resolved?
Created attachment 113626 [details] attachment-6901-0.html To fix the printing problem is probably fixed in last Qt 5.11, but the AppImage is compiled with Qt 5.9.3. There is also Qt 5.9.4 but i don't know if the fix is backported in LTS Qt 5.9 Compiling AppImage with last 5.11 can take age as i need to review all compilation stage, as i use an old Centos 6 for binary compatibility. There is an old G++ compiler and step by step Qt need more recent compiler version with more recent C++ standard supported.

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Best Regards Gilles Caulier
With next digiKam 7.4.0 release, AppImage bundle is compiled using a more recent Linux Mageia 7.1 host. Last stable Qt 5.15.2 and KF5 5.84 are used. ImageMagick codec 7 and libav 58 (ffmpeg) are used to supports extra image and video formats. https://i.imgur.com/XV1tZkL.png Please check if problem still reproducible with this version available as pre-release here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
The problem can no longer be reproduced. The print format problem from Comment 3 has been fixed in https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/issues/21. I close the bug. Maik
