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.

When I click on the icon in the Dock, it says: “Application Not Responding”. After forced quitting and restarting, the application is instantly not responsive without showing any window.
