Description Junakreiter 2024-03-17 20:32:40 UTC
The windows for editing the view of thumbnails, preview, fonts etc- open but no button responds, and no menu reacts.

Please provide more information. Which Qt version do you use on which desktop? We need at least a debug log from the terminal or a GDB backtrace. The problem cannot be reproduced here under Qt-6 and KF-6.

Another note, the development of digiKam-8.4.0 has just started, we will test things in the Gitlab repository, which we will eventually undo, this developer version is not intended for productive use.

I can´t give you the information you need. But i upload a screenshot that shows a non functional window.
For example the font used by the program, but there are many other windows that do not react.

It sounds like a dysfunction coming from your system, not digiKam. 

Here all work as expected and problem is not reproducible at all.

I see that you use Plasma 6. It's not recommended at all. It's not a mature desktop for production. Wait few months before to try again.
Go back to the long time stable Plasma 5 distro. It's so far better.

Best

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2024-04-02 06:14:30 UTC
Also i suspect that you use the AppImage bundle. Right ?

We never tested the AppImage under Plasma 6. This one is based on Qt5, not Qt6, and incompatibility can be present. Mixing Qt5 and Qt6 is not a good way.

Ok, I'm here on a pure KF6 desktop and can confirm that the font requester freezes. I'll take a look at it tonight to see if we can do something, but I think it's a KF6 bug.

Comment 9 Junakreiter 2024-04-02 06:31:02 UTC
So this is an archlinux packaging problem ?
Comment 10 Junakreiter 2024-04-02 06:32:43 UTC
Thanks !

Just as a note, our Qt6/KF6 Windows version is not affected by the QFontDialog freezing.
