DigiKam crashes after startup assistant

Tue May 16 06:54:41 BST 2023

Hi,

Also another possible way to generated full debug trace on the
Terminal, is to process like this :

bash-3.2$ pwd
/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS
bash-3.2$ export QT_LOGGING_RULES="*=true"
bash-3.2$ ./digikam

...
digikam.qtav: Register QtAV Renderers:
digikam.qtav:    Qt have no OpenGL support.
digikam.qtav:    register QtAV::OpenGLWidget Renderer: true
digikam.qtav:    QtAV have OpenGL support.
digikam.qtav:    register QtAV::QGLWidget Renderer: true
digikam.qtav:    register QtAV::QGLWidget2 Renderer: true
digikam.qtav:    register QtAV::Widget Renderer: true
digikam.qtav:    register QtAV::GraphicsItem Renderer: true
qt.qpa: Loading macOS (Cocoa) platform plugin for Qt 5.15.8, running
on macOS 12.6.3

  Component     SDK version   Deployment target
 ------------- ------------- -------------------
  Qt 5.15.8       13.1.0          10.15.0
  Application     12.3.0          10.15.0

qt.qpa.screen: Updating screens with 1 online displays: QVector(69733312)
qt.qpa.screen: Adding QCocoaScreen(0x600002c0a080, "Colour LCD",
QRect(0,0 1440x900), dpr=2, displayId=69733312, <NSScreen:
0x6000039237e0>) as new primary screen
qt.qpa.openglcontext: Failed to create NSOpenGLContext
qt.qpa.openglcontext: Failed to create NSOpenGLContext

This will open the door to Qt framework used by digiKam to print all
debug traces on the Terminal. It's very verbose. Please capture the
text and report in ths room.

Best

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?

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.
