Hello dear developers of Digikam,
I used the 8.9.0 weekly until the version of 16.12.2025. There were no problems with this version. The last pictures were added to the database with this version. Even after that, the start and work with Digikam was not a problem.
But with the next available weekly until today there is a problem after the start of the program. On the one hand, it may happen that the program window sticks after the start to the left edge of the screen with the left edge. After another attempt, the program window will also be displayed correctly placed in the center of the screen.
In both possibilities, the program starts and shows the known surface. Normal behavior would now be the set scanning for new images and viewing the previews. But this is not the case. It runs a process (ventilator noise), the previews remain empty and then Digikam crashed after a few seconds.
Interestingly, the current version of today started once fine. After that it came back to crashes.
I added the following installations: Screenshot shortly before the crash, two logs of different program starts.
In the meantime, I had tried a debug version, but it didn’t work with the instructions. I’m not a Console junkey or a programmer either. However, I hope to contribute to a solution with my description and the attached files.
The stable version 8.8 installed in the meantime also worked without any problems with the existing database.
Allen Pixls.us users and all the involved developers of Digikam wish a beautiful Christmas!
