<p>Hi Johannes & friends,</p>
<p>when checking Andrews issue (the raw files), I stumbled across
this issue with the flatpak version:</p>
<p><tt>flatpak install org.kde.kphotoalbum </tt>(as root)</p>
<p><tt>flatpak run <span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">
com.github.tchx84.Flatseal </span></tt>(set access to my
image folder - I tried various ways to allow access)<tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p>Then as myself:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">as@wshome5:~>
flatpak run org.kde.kphotoalbum --db ~/eigene_Bilder/index.xml
</span><br>
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
<br>
kphotoalbum.MainWindow: No KPhotoAlbum index.xml database file
was found at "/home/as/eigene_Bilder/index.xml" .
<br>
kphotoalbum.MainWindow: Please specify an image directory or an
existing XML database file. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace">as@wshome5:~> ll
/home/as/eigene_Bilder/index.xml
<br>

/home/as/eigene_Bilder/index.xml <br>
</span></p>
<p>Okay: my home folder lies on a NFS share (the network error?) ...
and ... when starting without arguments, I can import my existing
index.xml file but then KPA starts to regenerate all
(video)thumbnails (what!?!). <br>
</p>
<p>So, is there a sensible path to migrate from a standard install
of KPA towards a flatpak-version?</p>
<p>Right now, it seems that the flatpak is not yet completely
functional (for me at least):</p>
<p>* all config is forgotten: (you have to manually copy files from
.config/... to .var/.../kphotoalbum/...) <br>
</p>
<p>* no sound (the jesper video plays silently) - I allowed pulse
audio in Flatseal<br>
</p>
<p>* no vlc (open with) - you probably need to install all the other
tools (Gimp, vlc, whatever...) via flatpak too (?)</p>
<p>* feature set not complete</p>
<p>* when you open an existing index.xml it seems to get mapped to a
strange location (internal to flatpak?).<br>
</p>
<p>* when starting without arguments, the flatpak KPA uses the last
index.xml used and skips the selection dialog.</p>
<p>Has anybody had success in getting KPA as flatpak running fully
functional? Or is there a tutorial to set it up?<br>
It would be a nice path for people who cannot compile themselves
but need a very recent version.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, Andreas</p>
