[digiKam-users] preview pane closes spontaneously

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Here the dysfunction about the shutdown after 3à secondes is not
reproducible here (Linux and Mac).

For MacOS, the migration from BigSur to Montserrat to build the PKG is
underway. We will see if the problem will be solved.

There is also a fix committed yesterday by Maik about HEIF support.
This can be a trouble under Linux and MacOS for 7.7.0and 7.8.0. This
will be fixed at 7.9.0
