<br>
after not being able to carry on further with this issue since August<br>
2016, I returned<br>
<span class="">again today and installed DK 3.5.0.<br>
<br>
</span><span class="">The reading of the collections problem and bug 367853 still seems to exist.<br>
<<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_<wbr>bug.cgi?id=367853</a>><br>
<br>
</span>Gilles, in response to your suggestion: "I also shared a new fresh PKG<br>
installer in this entry, if you is interested.", I tried to download<br>
your suggested installer, Unfortunately<br>
the link is dead now. Andrea also reports to have tried it, without<br>
result (<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853#c4" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_<wbr>bug.cgi?id=367853#c4</a>)<br>
<span class=""><br>
Any new info on the issue?<br>
<br>
</span>My system now:<br>
<span class="">DigiKam 5.3.0<br>
MacOS Sierra, MacBookPro 17" 16GB RAM i7 CPU, 2011, 850GB SSD for<br>
Applications & 2TB HDD for Data in DVD Bay, both on same SATAIII bus.<br>
Photos & iPhoto were not used, negating large db problems with them.<br>
<br>
Attachment of Hangup screen --<br>
</span>It remains there for hours (tested up to 6 hrs):<br>
