            Bug ID: 371142
           Summary: digikam5 does not start when SD card with photos is
                    inserted to computer
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

It worked fine with kubuntu 14.04 and digikam 4.x, after moving to kubuntu 16.x
and digikam5 (form Philip Johnsson ppa) it just does not work. The SD memory
card is plugged into  computer slot, card is shown in the tray, I choose
'Donwload photos with digikam' (free translation from Polish) and nothing
happens.

When I start digikam manually, the import from this SD card works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Problem is not reproducible here (openSUSE). Works open with file manager from
tray?

Work perfectly here too...

Sound like a desktop integration problem in your distro.

I guess you are right.

Gilles, what distro are you using? Maybe it is time to move to something more
stable than kubuntu 16.x BTW does your gwenview  has kipi plugins working? Not
working here of course ;-) Automount cifs shares at boot not working on wifi
network.

No Kubuntu here. Mageia Linux...

The answer from digikam5 package maintainer is in short: Kubuntu 16 is prepared
for digikam4 and simply has no idea that digikam5 exists in the system. So tray
task tries to run not  installed digikam4 and ignores digikam5.

"simply has no idea that digikam5 exists"

Seriously... Kubuntu is KDE based and managed by KDE team if i remember. If
Kubuntu :

- do not know that digiKam (note the 'K' inside) have been updated this summer
to 5.0.0 after 2 years of vigorous development.
- do not know that digiKam is hosted by KDE project.
- do not know that digiKam is based and use KF5 frameworks.

... well, you can leave quickly this Linux distribution...

Well, kubuntu it is actually ubuntu with 'k'. So if in 16.04 LTS released
somewhere about 04.2016 there is still digikam 4, I guess I should consider
moving somwhere else. gwenview (qt5) does not have kipi-plugins because in the
distro they are still kde4 based.

Well this is typically a distro problem, not digiKam one.

The alternative for you, without to use another distro, is to use the AppImage
digiKam bundle which will be release with next 5.3.0.

Currently it's in beta stage, for testing. If you want to be able to use it
with SD card reader, you need to accept the desktop integration question at
first run. I tested here with an old CentOS 6.8 with Gnome, and it's work fine.

Please test and give me a feedback.

Well, digikam 5.3 works, but there was no question about desktop integration.

Another thing I have just noticed, when in slide show mode digikam still can't
play video files. I'v seen this bug (?) was reported  to digikam4 some time
ago. Why it is still a problem?

The viewing experience (I mean displaying images in final form, full screen
etc) is not as good as in for example gwenview. I'm not sure where can I report
the ideas to improve (from my point of view of course) this experience?

Thanks for the report.

Video support is currently disabled in this bundle, until we found a more
simpler way to handle video format thatn QT5::Multimedia.

With this framework under Linux, GStreamer is used in background and it's a BIG
puzzle to bundle. Impossible to do . Under Windows and OSX, Qt5::multimedia
delegate the video to extra codec that user need to install as extra packages.

We plan to use a solution based on FFMpeg, but it's not yet done. Perhaps for
5.4.0 or 5.5.0 release.

About the possible preview improvements, open a new file in this bugzilla.

By the way that AppImage fix the problem with USB notification about
SDCard/camera support, this can give you a solution for this entry without to
report this problem as UPSTREAM to Kubuntu team.
