[Digikam-users] digikam crashes while converting raw to jpg or png - UPDATE

[Michael Eschweiler]

Hi there,
Last time I wrote in the 'P.S.:' that converting raw to jpg with OSS 10.3 
worked. This was only correct for the first try. Some days later I updated 
the system and afterwards I had the same problem as with OSS 10.2: crashing 
digikam while converting raw. 

Now I tried to get some more explicit messages starting digikam from a console 
At the start I get the following messages:
Found dcraw version: 8.81

---------------
Then I select a raw-picture in the center of the digikam windows:

-----------------
Despite the error message 'cannot load metadata'... digikam still works, and 
when I select the conversion from extras the 'converter-window' opens and I 
get:
-----------------

------------------
As you can see the dcraw-version here doesn't match with the version indicated 
at the starting of digikam. If I then press the convert-button the 
console-window gives back the following error-message:

It would be nice if with this information you could give me a hint about what 
to do in order to get the conversion work.
Thanks in advance.
