+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #461469 +++ The 'Help' window does not work (empty window with message "Cannot load page https://docs.kde.org/?application=digikam&branch=trunk5" ;that message appears after a progess bar going to "100%"): see screenshot https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=153498 Note: that help window can be called from several places: - Help > Online Handbook... - Settings > Configure Digikam > Help button at the bottom left Maybe is this bug specific to appimage ? (I use appimage on Fedora 35)
QWebEngine in the current AppImage seems to be broken. The local welcome page does not load either. Maik
Maik, I currently recompile AppImage from scratch using xubuntu as host instead Mageia and with last Qt 5.15.7. We will see if this solve this issue. Gilles
Hi Maik, I finalized the port of scripts to compile the AppImage under Ubuntu 18.04 instead Mageia7. It still a little problem to upload files in KDE server. I will fix that today. Gilles
I tried with digiKam-7.9.0-20221108T161738-x86-64.appimage Unfortunately it does not work under Fedora: digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (on my system, I have only /usr/lib or lib64/libpcre.so.1)
Note: I have a "libpcre.so.3" file coming from Steam runtime. I have tried to preload it with for the sake of the test: LD_PRELOAD=/home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 -> digikam starts, and, good news, the problem of Help window is solved ;-) Thanks. So, this bug can be closed. But there remains a problem with the new appimage on Fedora. I don't know if it is possible to include "libpcre.so.3" inside the appimage (and if it is the proper way to solve this issue). Do you want me to open a new bug report for that ?
yes the original problem with online doc is fixed. For the preloading of libpcre.so.3 if will fix this. Gilles
