Hi, Look like you have a problem with Qt/GTK widgets style from your system. I recommend to test with the Linux AppImage that we provide. It must work as weel. It do no install anything on your system and it will quickly confirm that the problem is not in digiKam.

OK, found the issue. I had to unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME.
I had had to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 previously.

I have recently installed digiKam and have been attempting to learn as much
as I can about this program to manage photo files. I have been having a similar problem on startup when the program fails to connect to the database. I'm not sure what the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is or where to find it. I haven't found anything like that in the Settings menu. A somewhat more comprehensive explanation would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html |
That is not a similar problem at all, please start a new thread to discuss your issue and include the OS you are using and the type of database you selected.
FWIW QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is an environment variable that affects which widgets are loaded and hence the look and feel of the application. As you can start digiKam and alter its settings, you are well passed the point this matters, digiKam did not hang for you.

Actually I was using an older version of digikam. I will reinstall a newer version and see if that fixes it. Thanks. On Jan 16, 2018 3:15 AM, Andrew Goodbody <[hidden email]> wrote:
