SUMMARY Digikam crashes after trying to run a DLNA Media Server STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select Tools / Share with DLNA 2. Select an album 3. Click "Start" (in the dialog "Share Files with DLNA Media server") OBSERVED RESULT - MacOS opens its dialog where you have to allow incoming connections for a program when trying to run a server for the first time - Dialog dissapears before one can click on anything - Digikam crashes EXPECTED RESULT - I can click on the Macos dialog to allow digikam to run a server - Digikam starts a DLNA media server as an alternative (if lacking time/resources to deal with the mac security system): - Digikam displays "this tool is unfortunately not available on mac os. Try running digikam under linux ;-) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: 13.7.6 (not the latest version) (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ? comes with digikam? no kinfo installed on macos ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
