DigiKam crashes after startup assistant

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

I use digiKAm under Windows 10 in my office with an admin user without
problem. I suspect a broken database problem.

I suppose that the database is not the same between the admin user and
the normal user on your computer. Right ?

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
