[digiKam-users] digiKam 6.0.0-beta1 Win64 crashes on startup

[Tom Cunningham]

I tried digiKam 6.0.0-beta1 on Windows 10 64-bit.  When it gets to “loading themes…” the splash screen disappears and nothing else happens.  If I run it under GDB it loads and runs OK, although slower under the debugger.  I would happily revert to 6.0.0-git but I can’t seem to find it anywhere online.  I tried going back to 5.9.0 but it doesn’t like the database format. :-/

Tom,

I fixed the problem at startup under Windows.

This is due to LensFun library alpha version embebed in the bundle. The code has a bug under Windows.

I reverted to last stable and it work.

The bundle published here are git version, post beta1 :

Please try and give me a feedback
