Digikam can't find my photo images

[Sebastian Beer]

Hi,

I cannot help with your problem. But I’m wondering if this might be related to they way of installation? I used the macOS install file provided by digicam and that works perfectly. Maybe you give that a try?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Sebastian Beer

This has happened in the past, and I've been able to correct it, but it's been a while and either I can't remember how I did it (it seems like it was as simple as telling digikam where the files are at the startup dialog, but this time that didn't help) or something else is wrong. The files are there, I can look at them using normal file utilities.

Is this the problem? If so, how can I fix it without triggering a full rescan of my photos? If that isn't the problem, where can I look to fix it?
