[digiKam-users] First 8.0.0 alpha version of digiKam AppImage bundle for Linux.

[Marc Palaus]

The issues with the sound also seem to apply to the qt5 version. Digikam 
appears to constantly use the system's audio, but when playing a video, 
only the sound is played, without image.

On the other hand, v8.0.0 (at least the Qt6 version) seems to fix bug 
#406583, the one where you couldn't use accent marks in the search box 
if suggestions were shown.
