SUMMARY When aspect ration crop is chosen, the whole image is just greyed out and there's no cutting frame that can be pulled or positioned STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Load an image in the editor 2. Select crop by aspect ration 3. Be puzzled OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT I would expect to be able to select the crop by drawing or scaling a frame around the desired area. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Cropping used to work as expected before the latest update.
There is a button "Defaults" on the bottom of settings panel from the crop tool. This will reset the crop view. You can also use the "Max Aspect" button to use the the aspect ratio on the image with the maximum area possible to apply. In both cases, this will make the crop view visible. Gilles Caulier
Neither button changes anything: the image is still being greyed like looking through a pane of glass, and I still can't draw a rectangle with the mouse.
One thing changes, though, when I hit any of those two buttons: the values in the fields "position" and "size", but like I said: still no crop rectangle is shown.
I recently had this problem with one of my test configurations. Delete the area of the "[aspectratiocrop Tool]" section in the digikamrc. Please post the section here so we can investigate. Maik

Comment on attachment 140933 [details] my digikamrc Ups, I wanted to add some text to the attachment. Here's the section you asked for. But even after deleting the whole section the crop tool is still unusable. The attachment is the digikamrc *after* deleting the section.

Yes, you have deactivated restoring the last tool settings: RestoreToolSettings=false The problem has now been resolved. Maik
The "[aspectratiocrop Tool]" section was not the problem, for now you can re-enable the restore of the last tool settings as a workaround up to the digiKam-7.4.0 version. Maik
Oh, yes, thank you! Deleting that line did the trick. Honestly, I can not remember setting that option!
