Your digiKam version is compiled without multimedia support. Report the problem to your package distributor. Alternatively, you can use our AppImage from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik
Thank you, I think I will try the appimage method instead. Question: If I uninstall the snap, then install the appimage, are my digikam application settings transferable to the appimage installation? ie are the application setting stored in the library, or somewhere else so that I may transfer them? Thanks
custom digiKam settings is normally stored in your home directory. So it's compatible with snap and appimage bundles. Gilles Caulier
Thank you Gilles for the information. I shall try it now.
