Description Christian Gruber 2019-06-18 16:22:31 UTC 
In the development version digikam-6.2.0-git-20190613T125237-qtwebkit-x86-64.appimage, the "Open with" dialog shows nothing. With the version 5.9.0, this did work.

Here at openSUSE Tumbleweed are all Open with... entries available with the AppImage. Which Linux Platform do you use exactly?

Comment 2 Christian Gruber 2019-06-18 20:51:08 UTC 
I am running Kubuntu 19.04
Comment 3 Christian Gruber 2019-06-24 16:04:17 UTC 
Perhaps this is related, but in DK 5.9.0, which comes with my Linux distribution,  the geotagging menu entries are missing, and from the "Extra" menu, everything below "Wartung" (I do not know what is written in the English menu, perhaps "Service") is missing. Do you have an idea what goes wrong here?
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2019-06-24 16:20:06 UTC 
With 5.9.0, geotagging is a kipi-plugins tool. Kipi-plugins package must be missing.

With 6.2.0, geotagging is a digiKam core plugin, so available de facto.

OpenWith is a different service menu system which depend of you desktop which populate the menu contents.

Strange. Something else must be missing. The package "kipi-plugins" is installed.
Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2019-06-30 20:22:17 UTC 
There is an error message from KF5 when trying to call the "Open with" menu that the file "/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu" is missing.

One possible solution is to create a symbolic link in "/etc/xdg/menus/".

sudo ln -s kf5-applications.menu applications.menu

Another would be to search the package that contains this file under Kubuntu...

Christian,

It's clear : the problem come from Kubuntu, not digiKam. Please report this problem as UPSTREAM bug to Kubuntu team...

I have tried to do this link, and it works. I have filed the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1834869, let's see what happens.
Comment 9 Christian Gruber 2019-07-01 15:29:42 UTC 
The status of the Kubuntu bug is 'Fix released', so let's hope the best for the next release.

OpenSUSE user here trying to reply the issue with 6.3 appimage. No problem at all. I can see all possible applications disposable like in Dolphin or Digikam 6.3 installed from RPM.
Comment 12 Gerhard Hoogterp 2020-01-15 19:12:28 UTC 
For me the solution was in the directory /etc/xdg/menus

As there Digikam was searching for an file applications.menu which wasn't available there.

I symbolic linked the file kde4-applications.menu t0 applications.menu which solved the problem. The "open with" menu was filled with the expected applications.

so:
cd /etc/xdg/menus
sudo ln -s kde4-applications.menu applications.menu

Worked for me.
