OK, I looked at the webpage. I have come no further info from these
directions. See the procedure I followed below. Procedure:
____________________________ The executable has changed from: lldb
/opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam to:
lldb /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet
When I run it, I get two lines and a hangup it seems -- after a while I
had to type "exit" to stop: __________________________________________
lldb /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet
(lldb) target create
"/opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet"
Current executable set to
'/opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet'
(lldb) exit __________________________________________ Regards, PinguMann0


        The screenshot do not give any information to help you.

        We need a console trace. Start digiKam from a console as
        explained here :

        I responded to bugzilla about broken link to download 5.4.0 pre
        installer for MacOS :

            Hi all,

            after not being able to carry on further with this issue
            since August
            2016, I returned
            again today and installed DK 3.5.0.

            The reading of the collections problem and bug 367853 still
            seems to exist.
            <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853
            <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853>>

            Gilles, in response to your suggestion: "I also shared a new
            fresh PKG
            installer in this entry, if you is interested.", I tried to
            download
            your suggested installer, Unfortunately
            the link is dead now. Andrea also reports to have tried it,
            without
            result (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853#c4
            <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367853#c4>)

            Any new info on the issue?

            My system now:
            DigiKam 5.3.0
            MacOS Sierra, MacBookPro 17" 16GB RAM i7 CPU, 2011, 850GB
            SSD for
            Applications & 2TB HDD for Data in DVD Bay, both on same
            SATAIII bus.
            Photos & iPhoto were not used, negating large db problems
            with them.

            Attachment of Hangup screen --
            It remains there for hours (tested up to 6 hrs):

            Here i tested with VM under older OSX version, and it do not
            crash or freeze.

            Tip : create a new account and init digiKam with a fresh
            collection to see if problem is reproducible. Perhaps it's a
            problem with older 4.x settings (we have already a report
            about).

                Hi all,

                I'm a newbie on this list.

                I installed a new version of digikam (was 4.1.0, now
                5.1.0) on my OSX OS.
                Starting for the first time, a pop-up message came which
                said "Scanning collections, please wait ..." and then
                "Preparing collection scan ...", where it hangs
                indefinitely.

                Sometimes it just crashes at start-up.

                Is there a problem with digikam 5.1.0 and OSX 10.11.6?

                Regards,
                PinguMann
