I can reproduce the problem, there is this message at the beginning: kf.i18n: KCatalog being used without a Q*Application instance. Some translations won't work https://api.kde.org/frameworks/ki18n/html/prg_guide.html#before_qapp The question at the moment is where do we access k18n before the QApplication is created. Maik
hi Maik, Perhaps the static strings declared in the global definitions as these ones : https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/widgets/metadata/utils/altlangstredit_p.cpp#L43 ... fixed recently for KF6 build in a recent MR. Gilles
Ah, thanks Gilles. I knew I had seen the change then. When looking through it now, the change was collapsed in the gitlab interface due to the size. Maik
Git commit 657d217bc7fd6e4e88c6941d0c7beb0bd4497e23 by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 02/04/2023 at 07:31. Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. port language code map to KLazyLocalizedString FIXED-IN: 8.0.0 M +1 -1 NEWS M +2 -2 core/libs/widgets/metadata/utils/altlangstredit.cpp M +358 -358 core/libs/widgets/metadata/utils/altlangstredit_p.cpp M +2 -1 core/libs/widgets/metadata/utils/altlangstredit_p.h https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/commit/657d217bc7fd6e4e88c6941d0c7beb0bd4497e23
If I read it correctly in the API doc, I18N_NOOP is also deprecated since KF5-5.89. So we have to replace it in digiKam soon. Maik
Since KLazyLocalizedString is only available from KF-5.89, the question arises whether we raise the KF5 minimum version or make a compile switch? Maik
KF5 5.89 is really old now. We are at 5.104, so we can change the minimum requirement. Gilles
Petr, AppImage bundle is updated only with last changes from Maik: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Please test and give us a feedback. Best regards Gilles Caulier
This bug is fixed in digiKam-8.0.0-20230402T142523-x86-64-debug.appimage
