What do mean by system setup ? DK setup ?

DK AppImage can read and write to user account DK settings, and system wide
application.

AppImage will run with user account, not root. It cannot write on system.
In fact DK from wide system will not do it also.

There are again some improvements to do with AppImage :

1: use last JPEG lib. For the moment, due to time missing, i use CentOs 6
version (jpeg 6b), which is very old. Stable, but old. Some specifc code
for JPEG support will be disabled. I needs i least to use JPEG 8 in the
bundle.

2: it's the same for libtiff. CentOs provide a 3.9, and not last 4.x
version.

3: libgphoto2 is an older version from CentOs. I need to update this to
last one in the bundle to offer the last camera drivers.

4: libsane is an older one too. If you is interested by image scanner, you
will not see all last drivers. This need to be updated in the bundle.

For the rest all is the last version :

- OpenCV 3.1 with all unwanted options disabled. Just what we need fro DK.
I'm sure that some crash appears in DK because OpenCV is compiled with
experiment options on some Linux system. OpenCV is a giant project, too
much, too complex, and finally unstable when you enable all.

- Qt5 is the last one : 5.7.0
- KF5 is the last one : 5.27.0

- Exiv2 : is the last one, but i would to use current code from svn where
more than 200 bugs are currently fixed. Exiv2 is a core dependencies to DK.
I'm sure that DK can crash a lots with a non stabilized Exiv2. Exiv2 +
OpenCV = the most important core libs. At least, with AppImage i use 0.25
and i disabled all unstable options, as video metadata support.
I already ask to Exiv2 team to release more frequently the library, but
without success.  The 0.26 release is planed before Christmas as i know,
but nothing is sure with Exiv2...

- Libraw : I update code to last 0.18 beta 1 and reported some compilation
problem to the team. patches have been integrated as upstream. The 0.18
final release is planed before Christmas, as libraw coordinator said to me
by private mail.

Some words now about the others bundles : Windows and OSX. Currently, OSX
and Windows use different manners to bundle, and i need to factorize my
scripts to have the same versions/compilation options everywhere. AppImage
bundle project give me some good ideas/ways to implement a common
frameworks for deployment everywhere. I will do it for 5.4.0.

Best
