<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I used flatseal and it works as advertised. Be aware that for symlinks, you need to grant access to the underlying path, not the symlink. To wit: I have a Pictures directory in my home folder. Inside the pictures directory is a symlink to a Photos folder located on another drive /mnt/data/Photos. In order for the flatpak of digikam to be able to access via the symlink, I had to grant it permission to access the /mnt/data/Photos folder, not the symlink /home/user/Pictures/Photos. I entered the symlink in digikam after that and it worked perfectly. You must do the same if you store the database in another folder as well.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="470" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;color:#222222;line-height:1.35;width:470px;padding-top:1em">

I don't found the time to finalize yet the install<br> relocation support in bash script. Package is not published on MacOS<br> store.<br> - MXE Windows installer : not signed, not published on Windows store.<br> Do not support KIO extension.<br><br> But we have a new one starting to work and i working on : FlatPak<br><br> This one is signed, published of official repository automatically<br> (you can install it on Discover application for ex). It support ICU<br> and KIO too... FlatPak is compiled on KDE infrastructure nightly and<br> automatically. Only a 64 bits version is supported.<br><br> This want mean that AppImage end of life is near. We will still<br> publish officially the AppImage until 7.0.0, but later, if FlatPak do<br> the job as well, AppImage will be dropped...<br><br> For Windows, all the digiKam code compile fine under Microsoft Visual<br> C++ compiler. This is the goal to obtain a signed and published<br> version on Microsoft store. You can imagine that Microsoft will only<br> support the official Windows compiler, and not GCC to permit to sign<br> and publish application on the store. Don't forget, Microsoft is well<br> Closed Source (:=))))<br><br> Microsoft compiler is just the hell. It slow and require a Windows<br> operating system. The current cross compilation solution that we use<br> work fully under Linux, and compilation time are reduced by 4/5 ! A<br> full Linux Workflow is a non virus guaranty !<br><br> The Visual C++ workflow is also only available on 64 bits and is<br> computed on KDE infrastructure, but the installer compilation is<br> broken due to a weird configuration on KDE infrastructure. I currently<br> try to found a work around.<br><br> Personalty, i don't want to left MXE solution for the moment.<br><br> For MacOS, the KDE infrastructure based on Craft compilation framework<br> will be a solution to sing and publish a relocatable package for<br> Apple. digiKam do not compile yet due to missing dependencies.<br><br> Voilà, i hope to be enough clear with these technical points.<br><br> My best<br><br> Gilles Caulier<br></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></pre></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div>
