DigiKam crashes after startup assistant

[Dominik Austen]

Hi Gilles,

thank you for your response! 
Unfortunately, I am not able to set the right configurations as indicated in the documentation. Digikam is not listed under any panels in the Privacy tab in the System Preferences/Security&Privacy. I am able to add digikam manually via the “+” button, but only for Full Disk Access and Accessiblity, not for Automation or Photos. I restarted digikam and the computer but so far without any success. Is there another way to grant digikam the necessary rights?

Dominik
