OBSERVED RESULT Seems the new setting is not updated correctly so that the new path cannot be found as it contains Unix Slash instead of backslash EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maik, I think this problem was fixed with 6.X. Right ? Blaubaer65, Can you check with official 6.4.0 Windows installer. You can also test with the current 7.0.0-beta2 Windows installer available here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier

Hello Gilles, I checked with the following download : digiKam-6.4.0-Win64.exe. I did not want to use a beta for "production" use. But I can tsest, if you can please provide a download link, I only find 6.4.0 on the website. Best regards Uli
This is not a bug and not the cause of the problem. We correctly display the path for the user under Windows as "\". Internally, we and Qt always use "/". I can even use the "/" via the Windows API. DigiKam has no rights to write in a directory under C:\. Only in the user directory or under a drive other than the system drive. We can not change that, programs must be certified in newer Windows versions to write in C:\. Maik

Hi Maik, even if I change to G:\Digikam I get the same message and error randomly. Edit: G: was my former Windows partition on Windoiws 7, seems thats the issue. When using another drive it works fine. Thanks a lot for your support. Maybe it is an idea to put a hint on the screen that no Windows partioon should be used. Best regards Uli
Fixed with #398288
