DK settings in windows 10

[mik.clucas at bluewin.ch]

Good to know that the registry is not being used!

Thanks for the link. I changed the Option «Show Splash» in digikamrc and can now start digiKam 5.3

Best regards

There is nothing in Windows registry DB from digiKam. All are text file in hidden area from your home directory.

You problem is know and have already report in this mailing list.

Hi everyone,
I have been happily using DK in a Linux Environment for many years and recently discovered the Windows port and that you can use a centralised DB repository. There are some Windows PCs in the house that I (and my wife) use for some Photo processing, so what a great opportunity to get everything/everyone working with the same Software and Picture library!
I recently wanted to upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3, at the same time I changed some config settings (show splash screen at startup). Now I have a situation where none of the versions 5.2, 5.3 or even 5.4 show me a gui. I can see the program in the task manager but not using any resources and after a long time, ~6 Hrs, no change! From what I can see it looks like a case of Bug 374368 - Unchecking "Show splash screen at startup" causes no window to display at Launch.
 
So after a Long preamble, here is my question: Does any one know how can I reset this Option without destroying the DK library? (Maybe by editing a config file or the windows registry)
 
Thx i.A for your help
 
Best regards
Mik
