Description John Dickson 2019-12-27 17:33:24 UTC
SUMMARY
In the [Color Management] section of the digikamrc file, there are two keys that have values that are stored as absolute paths: MonitorProfileFile[$e] and WorkProfileFile[$e]. When running the appimage the absolute path to these files changes with each startup. When color management enabled you have to go to settings and reselect the color space each time digikam is started.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start digikam from an appimage.
2. Enable color management and select the working color space.
3. Exit digikam.
4. Restart digikam from the appimage.

OBSERVED RESULT
After restarting, open the color management settings and the working color space is empty. The log will also contain messages like:

Digikam::IccManager::IccManager: Cannot open workspace color profile "/tmp/.mount_digikajdJe2d/usr/share/digikam/profiles/srgb-d65.icm"

Where "/tmp/.mount_digikajdJe2d" is the appimage mount point from the previous run instead of the current run:

ls -d /tmp/.mount_digika*
/tmp/.mount_digikaxfI7N9/


EXPECTED RESULT
The working color space would contain the previously selected value.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 18.3 / KDE Plasma Version 5.8.9
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:  KDE Frameworks 5.61.0
Qt Version: Qt 5.13.1 (built against 5.13.1)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Workarounds:
-Disable color management.
-Copy the desired profile to a persistent location and manually edit the digikamrc file to use that file.

It's reproducible with 7.0.0-beta2 daily build ?

Yes, the beta2 daily build has the same behavior.

Log contains multiple instances of:
Digikam::IccManager::IccManager: Cannot open workspace color profile "/tmp/.mount_digikaf8SVOB/usr/share/digikam/profiles/srgb-d65.icm"

Which corresponds the config file's stored path (updated from a previous run):
~ $ grep WorkProfileFile .config/digikamrc
WorkProfileFile[$e]=/tmp/.mount_digikaf8SVOB/usr/share/digikam/profiles/srgb-d65.icm

but not the path the appimage is currently mounted on:
~ $ ls -d /tmp/.mount_digik*
/tmp/.mount_digikaaI60Pu/

Of course the file is really over here:
~ $ ls /tmp/.mount_digik*/usr/share/digikam/profiles/srgb-d65.icm
/tmp/.mount_digikaaI60Pu/usr/share/digikam/profiles/srgb-d65.icm
