ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also crashes if I press the cancel button on the file download pop up
I can't reproduce the problem, please try the digiKam-8.1.0 final release from the official download: https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/8.1.0/ https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/8.1.0/digiKam-8.1.0-Win64.exe Maik
OK I can run digiKam and cancel the face engine download and get to the digikam main screen. Then after 2 seconds, it crashes.
So I guess it is not to do with Face Engine I'm on Windows 11 Home OS Build 22621.1848
It will crash when scanning images. Do you have *.AVIF files in your collection? Otherwise create a DebugView (Microsoft program) log, maybe we can identify which file it crashes on. The creation of the DebugView log is described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Don't forget to set the Qt-Debug variable in the Windows environment variable editor. Maik
I installed 8.1 and it still crashes after 5 seconds on start up.
Please try to create the DebugView log so we can get closer to the cause. Maik
@Mike, This problem still reproducible with the new digiKam 8.2.0 pre-release Windows installer available at usual place: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ This new bundle is based on last Qt framework 5.15.11 and KDE framework 5.110. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
@Mike, The new digiKam 8.2.0 pre-release Windows installer is online. This one is built with VCPKG + MSVC toolchain and Qt6. It's a native version compiled under Windows 10. File is here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Please test and report to see if problem remain. Best regards Gilles Caulier
OK I installed the latest version of DigiKam and it is now working
