[digiKam-users] Cannot move or delete HEIF/HEIC photos

[Thomas D]

Hi,

I am using digikam on Windows 10.

While it can open HEIF images just fine I cannot seem to move or delete these files.

When I try to move a HEIF file it fails saying: 

Could not move PATH_X to album PATH_Y.

When I try to delete a HEIF image it says: Could not move XXX to collection Trash.

While I can understand that there might lack some functionality in modifying HEIF files, I do not understand why digikam cannot move or delete the actual files. If I do this in a file manager it works just fine so it is not a permissions problem or something related to the actual file not being possible to move.

BR

The problem was known and has been fixed in the current digiKam-7.0.0 -RC
version. I'll test it again on a Windows machine tomorrow. Did you download
the version from here:

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

A short test here with the Windows version from June 21st in a Windows 10 VM
shows no problem with HEIF files.

I just checked the version. It is 6.4.0.

I see on your link there is a https://files.kde.org/digikam/digiKam-7.0.0-20200621T144222-Win64.exe which is newer. Is this a real release? Or is this some kind of preview/beta?

Yes, it is a pre-release. The release will be in July, there will be no more big changes. I am currently in the phase of testing everything intensively again. It is clear that the problem with digiKam-6.4.0 occurs. In digiKam-7.0.0 over 740 bugs were fixed.

Cool. Is there an ANNOUNCE list or similar where new releases are announced?
