[digiKam-users] Digikam hangs on startup (MacOS High Sierra)

[Michael Levin]

I’ve installed the DigiKam .pkg file (5.9.0) on my Apple running High Sierra. When I run it, it says “Reading database” and never moves from there - is completely stuck/frozen. What database is it reading (since this is the first time I’ve run it) and how do I get it to initialize?

If you use the Mysql internal database, it's a know problem already reported to bugzilla...
