Please download AppImage bundle that we package, set as executable on your computer, and check if problem is reproducible... Best Gilles Caulier
digiKam finds all supported file types when adding a collection. However, depending on the size of the collection or type (USB, network), this can take a while until all metadata is in the database. You will see a progress bar in the lower status bar. Maik
Do you use Archlinux? Maik
I see in our mailing list that digiKam from git / master should now work with the internal database. Since we start a mariadb-upgrade if different database and server versions. OpenSUSE does this automatically for the system database, you may have to do this manually for your external database under Archlinux. The new MariaDB version is a major update and has internal changes. Maik
We need minimal feedback to help. Please post the log from the terminal with active debug variable, as described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Maik
