No plugins are loaded and the message about the color profile path does not appear either. I think you haven't given digiKam all necessary permissions/rights under MacOS. Maik
Sumit, Also please try the 7.7.0 pre-release MacOS installer available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier

I tried to open digikam with the safe mode, and voilà, I could open it perfectly. The only problem now I have is to find out what exactly is blocking digikam in the normal mode. I also have an anti-virus that comes with some "on access protection" but I couldn't find any hints in the logs whether it's blocking the app or not. But I have the feeling that it is causing these issues as in the safe mode anti-virus was not active. However, in the past digikam was working as needed, also with the same ant-virus.

Note : there is no virus as whole digiKam is cross compiled under Linux. There is no Windows computer here...
I updated the list of macOS rights for the application in the document. Can you check if you have similar settings on your computer ? https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html#application-rights Best Gilles Caulier
@Sumit Madan, Did you seen my previous comment ? digiKam 8.0.0 is released. This file still valid ? Gilles Caulier
(In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #7) > @Sumit Madan, > > Did you seen my previous comment ? > > digiKam 8.0.0 is released. This file still valid ? > > Gilles Caulier Sorry for the late reply. I pinned down the problem to the selection of the database. At that time, when I reported the issue, digikam was not working with SQLite database, even though the binary (sqlite3) was working properly. I've installed sqlite3 via homebrew. It might be that digikam uses it's own libraries to access SQLite. After switching to "MySQL Internal" database, digikam was working nicely. Today I've tested digikam 7.7.0 again with both databases. No issues at all, even with SQLIte (version 3.41.2). I currently cannot install 8.0.0 as I don't have root access on my Mac. I'll ask my IT to install it. The issue can be closed for now. Thanks for your help, Gilles!
