<p>Hi Gilles, <br>
I've been reading about AppImages, and it seems to me that they're
not designed for long term use - the whole no install thing. Do I
misunderstand?</p>
<p>What's the best way to install Digikam on linux? I'm very new to
this whole linux thing.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, Jethro.</p>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well it's simple. Forgot the Application store to install
digiKam. As an application which needs access to the host
operating system a lot, the sandboxing used by the store is
just a pain.</div>

</div>
<div>Try the AppImage bundle that we package for Linux. It will
work better. The 8.2.0 pre-release is available here:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nota: I don't know why the Linux distro tries to force us
to use a very limited sandoxing policy. It's just an idiot
idea at all. When installing Ubuntu on my computer, Snap is
the first thing that I drop completely from the system (for ex
to install Firefox).<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>I used to use Digikam with Windows, and everything
worked fine. Now, the same PC has been dual-booted, with
Fedora Linux 38 (GNOME edition). Digikam isn't working
very well.</div>
<div>(I installed Digikam from the default <i>Software</i>
app store.)<br>
</div>
<div>Firstly, not all the folders are showing up. I keep my
photos in MASTER<YEAR<YEAR-MONTH-DAY folders, and
only the first few months of 2023 are showing in the
albums view. I have the same files and folder structure in
Fedora, and I pointed Digikam to the original database
files (in the same place in the folder structure).</div>

<br>
</div>
<div>Secondly, Digikam isn't working properly. For example,
when I go to Settings<Configure digikam, I get <a
href="https://youtu.be/oqM616VFr30" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">this</a> weird behaviour when I
click <i>confirm</i> or <i>cancel</i>. (That's a video
taken by an actual camera; screenshots gave me this):</div>

</div>
<div>Digikam is just acting really odd.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What should I do?</div>
