digikam 8.2.0 hangs in Splash Screen after new installation

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Definitively, switch to 8.3.0 pre-release available here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

We have fixed plenty of bugs under Windows since 8.2.0.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier

> Now digikam is not starting. It shows the splash screen with "Werkzeuge werden geladen" (Tools loading) and nothing more happens. In task manager there is no digikam app runniung, only the digikam background process using 0% CPU and 295 MB RAM.. There are also 2 exiftool.exe background taks, no cpu using, only a liite ram.
> What I've tried yet:
> In Appdata\roaming and local I Deleted the digikam folder. Also I deleted folder of SQLite db. Now when starting digikam I could choose path for SQLite db and folders with the pctures in. Choosed one empty folder, no pictures in it.
> But nothing change. Again  screen hangs in "Tools loading.." , no Task digikam app, only same background task again.
