Works here with digiKam-7.0.0 without problems. Do you use the AppImage? Please test it with digiKam-7.0.0 from here:

It's not reproducible here too, using 7.0.0...

Another note to highlight selected file. This only works with a native digiKam version with DBus support. DBus support is deactivated in the AppImage for various reasons. There is then a fallback to a function of QDesktopService to open the file manager.

Tried installing the 7.0.0-rc release via software store (flathub).

it will not launch.

I cannot figure out how to install via that link sent.

I'd rather figure out what is going on with the stable 6.4.0 version. Is there a way of forcing it to use the file manager?

My OS is ubuntu based (Zorin). I'm using the default file explorer that comes with OS.
Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2020-07-22 05:36:18 UTC 
You could start digiKam in the terminal and see if there is relevant output. Otherwise, Google says to Ubuntu that the xdg-utils may not be installed.

Ok, the issue lies with the OS. I tried kubuntu 20.04 with the stable digikam 6.4 release and it works fine. I suggest to close this and mark this down to issue with a particular distribution (Zorin).
