Note also: fixed with same way as bug ID 417008, just wanted to post this anyway so any possible updates to install notes could be filed?
The problem only occurs with the AppImage. The reason is that a required system file at *buntu is in a different path than on the system in which the AppImage was created. I still don't understand that nobody builds current digiKam packages for Mint, Ubuntu or Debian. Gilles, does it make sense to create the AppImage on Ubuntu? I know that many packages are poorly available and that it is more work. However, I think that most of the digiKam AppImage users are Ubuntu or Debian users. All other distributions quickly provide current digiKam packages in repositories. Maik
Maik, Well, i disklike Ubuntu. So i will never use this system to build AppImage. Alternative for Ubuntu: flatpak Gilles
With next digiKam 7.4.0 release, AppImage bundle is compiled using a more recent Linux Mageia 7.1 host. Last stable Qt 5.15.2 and KF5 5.84 are used. ImageMagick codec 7 and libav 58 (ffmpeg) are used to supports extra image and video formats. https://i.imgur.com/XV1tZkL.png Please check if problem still reproducible with this version available as pre-release here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
just wanted to confirm this issue is not present on current 7.3.0/Mint 20.2 anymore
