SUMMARY This is for the wishlist. I think it would be more intuitive if the search results in the tree view (including folders, tags, and people panels) were not sensible to special/international characters, the same way they are not case-sensitive. For instance. Let's say I have tagged people with the first name Àlex, Álex and Alex. If I type "Alex", only the latter will appear. If I type "Àlex", only the second one. I guess you know where I am going. I would love if when I write "Alex" in the search box, the three of them should appear. So basically, my proposal is that diacritics are ignored in the search box. Pérez should be treated as "perez", Françoise as "francoise", cañón as "canon", etc. PS: this suggestion has its origin in a family argument, where a relative insisted that I write all tags without accents so they are easier to find.
yes, AppImage has a run-time problem with ICU dependency which manage locale from system. I tried to fix it with the Qt source code build but it fail to compile). This problem was already reported in another file : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410980 There is a work around to force locale when you start AppImage executable. Look well in report...

Git commit 00e4d5da2948ccdc101cdeeb23f7b05405812436 by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 19/01/2022 at 19:04. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. Great news : AppImage with Qt 5.15.2 compiled under Mageia 7.1 now support ICU This require to recompile whole AppImage build system on Continuous Deployement server. This will be done in a few days. I only tested here on my laptop, and i can confirm that ICU work fine now.

This is great to hear! Right now it's quite difficult to search for specific people if they have accents in their name.
Hi, With the ICU support introduced in next 7.6.0 release, this problem is now fixed. You can test using 7.6.0 pre-release AppImage bundle available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Best Regards Gilles Caulier
Hi, with digiKam-7.6.0-20220205T123907-x86-64.appimage, the issue is still there.
