I get the latest (near-nightly) versions of digikam. The last few version are not recognizing exiftool. The program complains about it in an expiring yellow stripe at the top of the window. Pointing the program to the one in your installation folder does nothing. Downloading another copy of exiftool and pointing the program to it doesn't help. Now what? *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3.

digiKam-8.4.0-20240606T153013-Qt6-Win64.exe is the one I'm using now. This one fails to recognize exiftool as I described. The last three versions also reject exiftool.
I use digiKam-8.4.0-20240608T071222-Qt6-Win64 same thing
Current digikam-8.4.0 Windows just tested again, no problem with ExifTool. I suspect a problem with the antivirus program you are using. Problems with antivirus programs are also known in the ExifTool forum. Add digiKam and Exiftool as exceptions in the antivirus program. Otherwise, activate internal debugging in the digiKam settings and create a DebugView log from the start of digiKam, as described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Maik
Please test with the last 8?5?0 prerelease installer available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/
