[digikam] [Bug 381958] New: Cannot add additional collection

[bugzilla_noreply]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381958

            Bug ID: 381958
           Summary: Cannot add additional collection
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: setup
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

When I try to add an additional album, the window does not pop up, and Digikam
freezes. Have to kill and restart.
Note: after installing a fresh Ubuntu 17.04, Digikam seemed to have lost its
configuration data (?!), wanted to startup with mysql rather than SQLite, and
seemed to build new databases. Weird.

We have never seen this dysfunctions before.

Strangely, this appear under Ubuntu, the most worst Linux distribution ( it's
my viewpoint and my experience).

Please, try to use last 5.7.0 Linux AppImage bundle available here instead your
digiKam from your system :

Gilles,

I think it is the native file dialog. I want that now times for all file
dialogs in digiKam to fix. An option in Setup to select whether to use a native
dialog?

Hi Maik,

yes, all file dialogs need to be fixed.

If native file dialog Qt wrapper is bugous, why to provide an option to change
this behavior ? How deal other Qt applications ? VLC, Clementine, Scribus,
Krita ?

Hi Gilles,
Thanks for the work-around with 5.7.0. I've added two other collections, and so
far so good. I trust it will be fixed in the end.
Regards, Theo.
