Thank you for this wonderful release! Finally I can use my Galaxy A40 to shoot in the HEIF format! This saves me from 40% to 50% file size!!! Thank you!
There is obviously a packaging error of the file digikam-6.4.0.tar.xz, this file has ~3x the filesize of the previous versions:
ls digikam* -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 339472960 1. Aug 08:52 digikam-6.2.0.tar.xz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 335641824 5. Sep 20:44 digikam-6.3.0.tar.xz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 994894156 2. Nov 20:42 digikam-6.4.0.tar.xz
There is a new folder in ./project/scripts/ named site which contains a complete(?) git checkout of digikam with 835MB of data.
Does anyone know if Raw Import is supposed to work with Windows 10 ?
I tried it with Raw Therapee: the editor is not loaded, like if it is not installed or found on the system.
I’m glad to see digikam has HEIF support now! I just upgraded and for the most part it’s working. However, digikam is not reading/displaying any of the HEIF metadata. Is this expected?
It is expected at this stage. I already asked on digikam users mailing list. Digikam relies on exiv2 for metadata handling and exiv2 isn’t supporting HEIF format yet. They are working on it though.
I added RT’s path to the local environment variable and now it launches.
But it does return an error when the editor is closed:
“Error to import RAW image with RawTherapee.
Close this dialog to load RAW image with native import tool.”
I guess the mutual integration is not yet very mature.
Cant get a multi hundred thousand image library set up - digikam keeps crashing on a fresh copy of the latest Windows 10 release. It run’s for a bit, using sql-lite setup as others are experimental, and then the app just disappears without any warning or information after it gets so far… can’t keep track of exactly where - because the software doesn’t provide such feedback… it just says its creating the catalog. Sadly it never says where it is at in the process.
Here is one such crash - but this happened as rotating 3 files - coincidence? Dont know.

Hi. Not sure where I should post requests for additional features, but i’ll try here in case someone might know how to solve it.
i would like to add the “auto-correction”-tool to the main tool bar so that i do not have to open every photo in photo editor to use this feature. i tried to add it in Settings>Configure toolbars, but it is not possible from there.
Anyone know how to?
Check the batch queue manager - that’s the tool to apply change to many images. And I think it has been expanded recently with a few tools, so maybe your lucky and yours is available (I don’t know).
