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

[Gilles Caulier]

Welcome to the MacOS world with the regression introduced by Apple with
last MacOS version.

Look in this file from Bugzilla :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453078

This one is nice too, as the digiKam PKG is not notarized with the Apple
workflow.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496380

The cost is 100€ per year. It's a shame. I REFUSE to give 1cts to Apple for
an OpenSource project.
Apple must pay the developers to build applications for MacOS (I'm Apple
fan and user anyway).

Best
