DigiKam 8.4.0 on Windows 10: ExifTool not found nor selectable although it is part of the Digikam package

[neinei at gmx.net]

Hi there,

first of all, thanks for providing us DigiKam 8.4.0 :-)

I installed digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-Win64.exe on a fresh Windows 10 (up to
date patch level). The installation as well as the setup procedure
worked fine. Digikam threw just one error message stating that it is not
finding the exiftool binary. So I tried to select the exiftool binary in
"C:Program Files\digiKam\" manually but there is no way for me to select
it. It is just not accepted by digikam.

So I uninstalled DigiKam 8.4.0 and installed DigiKam
digiKam-8.3.0-Win64.exe and all worked fine including the use of
exiftool. Perhaps someone knows how to solve the exiftool issue in
DigiKam 8.4.0..

Best,
neinei
