[digiKam-users] Help getting digiKam to load

[Gilles Caulier]

1/ upload the current AppImage 6.0.0 pre-release :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

2/ To start AppImage, look this document :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/README.md

3/ The debug trace will appear on the console. We need this trace to
investigate...
