After upgrading to DK 8.6 no images can be opened in my collection

[Thomas]

So, this is quite strange. And I had to check this several times to make 
sure it was not me turning senile.

When I enable logging, the problem is gone: DK opens images from the 
collection just fine.

However, if I start DK using the Dock icon, then it gives me the error 
when opening an image.

How can this be?


I will send you the log separately.
