SUMMARY
Location of exiftools not found

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In 'settings' > 'digikam einrichten' > 'Metadata' > 'Exiftool'  exiftool is not found. Exiftool is installed in /usr/local/bin. But only the folder /usr/bin is shown in the menu. I can not change to /usr/local/bin
2. An error message is shown at the start of digikam that exiftool is not found
3. Exiftool is correctly installed and works in the terminal


OBSERVED RESULT
Exiftool is not working in digikam

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect that exiftool is recognized by digikam

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 24.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Was this installed as a Snap, Flatpak, or using a PPA?
Comment 2 juergen.barnert@gmx.de 2025-03-13 11:05:37 UTC
It was installed on snap. I have reinstalled digikam using deb repository. Now it works. Snap was the problem.
