Hi,

digiKam under Windows is more and more stable and mature. We have
removed the beta state since 7.0.0 release.

About to include digiKam in Microsoft Store, we fully agree, and all
help is welcome to achieve this task. There is already a wish in
bugzilla about this topic:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398582

digiKam must compile fine with MSVC, we ported all code to this
compiler a few months ago using KDE CI. If something needs to be
adjusted, let me hear.

Currently we cross compile awhole digiKam and dependencies with MXE
(MinGW based packages manager), and it works as expected. The cross
compiled binary bundle can also be used to make the Microsoft Store
packaging as pointed by bug #398582 (aka Krita packaging).

Best Regards

Gilles Caulier

I'm working on this task to bring more KDE apps to Microsoft Store https://phabricator.kde.org/T14122 and I'd appreciate getting some feedback. Currently I'm checking if apps are in a stable enough state to get published there.
