FWIW QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is an environment variable that affects which widgets are loaded and hence the look and feel of the application. As you can start digiKam and alter its settings, you are well passed the point this matters, digiKam did not hang for you.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">I have recently installed digiKam and have been attempting to learn as much<br>as I can about this program to manage photo files.
