Maik, 
        I suspect having run Hugin directly yesturday made some changes in my
computer.  Today I was able to run the application but with a couple tweaks.  I
also downloaded the most recent version of Hugin available just to make sure I
had it (2019.2.0.b690aa0334b5 built by Niklas Mischkulnig).

1. See the attached Panorama Creator Wizard screenshot where pto2mk is replaced
by hugin_executor but there is no version number.
2. I ran digikam again but got an error message that it could not find enblend.
 See the second screenshot and the messages citing having to revert to system
path.
3. So I modified my zsh path to include /Applications/Hugin/tools_mac and that
made some progress.

sbishop at MacBook-Pro ~ % echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Applications/Hugin/tools_mac
sbishop at MacBook-Pro ~ % 

4. But what actually worked and rendered a panorama is starting digikam from
the terminal command line rather than from the digikam icon on my Launchpad.

sbishop at MacBook-Pro ~ % 
/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam &


But this approach which is likely wrong way to do it, pops up a bunch of
warning messages and Error # 11 because of my Affinity Photo images (.afphoto)
file type.  See the terminal messages in the attached file.

So it appears to me that the digiKam 7.6.0 installation on Apple MacBook Pro
running Monterey 12.4 might need some execution path changes to ensure Hugin’s
tools_mac directory is found.  Note: This was an interesting exercise since I
haven’t work with Unix commands in quite a while.


Sincerely,

Steve
