SUMMARY When applying date/time changes to images, digikam freezes infinitely. Changes are applied successfully. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select image that you want to change 2. edit date and time 3. click "apply" or "OK" OBSERVED RESULT Digikam freezes, I have to force close it (I waited for half an hour the first time) EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-45-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 6 × AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15,0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: Acer Product Name: Aspire A515-44G System Version: V1.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It makes no difference whether the image already has an date and time exif entry or not. The freeze also happens with only one image.
The problem cannot be reproduced here under Linux or Windows. Does "Neon" mean that you are using digiKam as a Snap package with sandbox? Please test our AppImage to see if the problem can be reproduced. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik
Hi, It's can help to see where happen using GDB. Look instructions here : https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Else, please try also the 8.5.0 pre-release AppImage bundle to see if the problem is reproducible : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
KDE Neon, digikam installed from the (underlying) ubuntu repositories
Then it is a Snap package with sandbox. You only have access to files in your home directory. The Snap package is useless in connection with digiKam. Since your distribution cannot provide a native digiKam, use/try our AppImage. Maik

Funny, now it works - but I unchecked the "Update only existing timestamps" and before had used it on images without any timestamps (whatsapp-sent images). Maybe that was the reason. So you might try it on images without any exif or xmp metadata, and check the "update only existing timestamps". Maybe that triggers this behavior. If not, then well it was just a weird coincidence...

And it is 4:8.4.0-0zneon+22.04+jammy+release+build5 from the neon repositories, not ubuntu, sorry
And it doesn't show up in discovery, so it probably lacks appstream data and I probably installed it with muon...
