Thank you very much for your response!

I suppose this is the doc you're referring to:

https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/installation.html


This doc describes how to do something in a /very old/ macOS version. 
System Settings/Security and Privacy no longer looks like that and there 
seems to be no way on that section to authorize digiKam.

Please see a screenshot of the Security section from current macOS 
Sequoia below:



I found a way to allow DK to access network volumes under Files and 
Folders. This also looks very different than in the doc. See below. You 
might want to update the documentation.




Additionally: There is no apparent link to these absolutely mandatory 
steps on the Downloads page. I think we should be kind to potential new 
users and put in a link or text explaining this directly on the Download 
page. Otherwise, the user experience of a first time user is to download 
an app that "doesn't work".
