DigiKam 8.6.0 questions and possibly a bug

Hi, I have installed digiKam 8.6.0 on my Windows 10 machine and have a few questions.

When I click the Help button in Settings, Help does not open. The Settings window closes and I see another window flash up quickly but it also closes. Is this a bug? Clicking the Help button when viewing the Database Statistics works.

In the Image Editor can I add more Luts to the Colour Effects section? If I can, where is the folder please?

When using G’MIC Image Editor I get an error when selecting, Apply from CLUT set. The error is, Preview Error: Unable to load specific CLUT set. Should there be CLUTs installed or do I have to add them?

I can confirm, that Help does not open in Settings. Windows 10.

Yes, this is related to QWebEngine. I’ll fix it.

Thank you.

Great, thank you very much for that and all your hard work. I am enjoying using and learning digiKam a lot.

This looks to be fixed in digiKam-8.7.0-20250327T140824-Qt6-Win64.

While since 8.6.0, there seems to be a new GUI issue, connected also with the chosen language, on Widows and on a Kubuntu virtual machine.

Where and when such things should be reported, to avoid noise and duplications? Probably not here, there are discuss.kde.org and bugs.kde.org available.

The recommended place is given on the Digikam website. It depends on the kind of bug/wish you want to report (digikam, or one of the used libraries).
