[digiKam-users] Open Street Maps query not working

[loup+digikamusers]

I used to use the OSM query in the "Edit Geolocation" feature all the
time, but sometime around March of 2018 the query stopped returning any
results.  When I type in a search string, the results box remains empty,
no matter what I search for.  GeoNames search still works.  This is
occurring in Digikam 5.6.0 and 5.9.0.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi,

Did you try to use 6.0.0 pre-release Linux AppImage bundle to see if the problem is reproducible ?

Best

I noticed the same thing in the stand-alone version of Marble (which is what
Digikam uses to display the maps), so my guess is that it is an upstream
problem in Marble.

OpenStreetMap now uses https, is for digiKam 6.0.0 fixed.

I have not tried it with the pre-release 6.0.0 build, but it used to
work fine with both 5.6.0 and 5.9.0 for many months before it broke, so
I don't see how the Marble build could affect it. Especially with 5.9.0,
which is an appimage on my system (5.6.0 is the Ubuntu package version),
so everything should be bundled and static in the 5.9.0, if I understand
how appimages work correctly (which I might not).

So can anyone confirm that OSM queries are currently working with the
5.9.0 appimage release of digikam?

Thank you, Maik, that makes sense.

I'll report back if 6.0.0 gives any problems.

It's perhaps not so much a bug in Marble, as a change at the OSM side (switch
from http:// to https://), see : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394517
But even in that case, it's not something the Digikam developers could correct

We do not actually use Marble's OSM search. Although in digiKam the menu with
the right mouse button is again available over the map and the address search
does not work either. The OSM search (serach tab) in digiKam-6.0.0 is already
fixed.
