Not sure if this relates, but i have issues on Manjaro. I did post this
before, but here again:

[hph at hackbrett4 Appimg]$ export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true"
[hph at hackbrett4 Appimg]$ ./digiKam-7.10.0-x86-64.appimage 
-- digiKam Linux AppImage Bundle

use 'export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true"'. --        to extract the

Any hints? Same behavior for older 7.10 and 7.9 versions, 
digiKam-7.8.0-20220828T133307-x86-64.appimage and the native Manjaro
version, 7.9., start and run fine.
