Created attachment 163095 [details] Log of startup when crash was the result SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place a sample AVIF file in the root album (or a sub-folder album -- but it takes longer to find it and crash) (I used the sample located here: https://libre-software.net/wp-content/uploads/AVIF/AVIF%20test%20file%20-%20Your%20browser%20%28software%29%20supports%20AVIF%20%28Quality%2025%29.avif ) 2. Start digikam 3. During the "Find new items" process digikam will simply close. OBSERVED RESULT Digikam just closes as soon as it finds the AVIF file EXPECTED RESULT Digikam should continue to run and just not show the AVIF file as an image if it is not supported, or display it properly if avif *is* supported. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed this by accident in v7.9.0 and narrowed it down to the AVIF file I had recently downloaded. When I saw that I wasn't on the current version I upgraded to v8.1.0 and verified the bug still exists.
Problem have been already reported and fixed into next 8.2.0. Pre-release for Windows is available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
Sorry for the duplicate report. I think I only searched open bug reports and it was already closed.
