Hi,

Not at all, Nothing has changed for this behavior.

I tested with 9.2.0 pre-release under macOS 26 (i don't yet install 27) on
my macbook pro M2, and all works as expected.

Try to double check the digiKam macOS permission on the control center,
especially the file system access.

Don't forget that major macOS upgrades always change the disk partition
UUID and the collection registration in the database needs to be updated
about this property. Under macOS, digiKam always asks to update this in the
database at startup after macOS update.

Why did Apple change the disk UUID ? I don't know, perhaps some
optimizations on the FS or migration of inodes...

Best regards
