Bug ID: 520021
Summary: New install of DigiKam, error message about ExifTool
missing, but it is installed and works from the
terminal.
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 9.0.0
Reported In:
Platform: MacPorts
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-ExifTool
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
New install of DigiKam on macOS, error message about ExifTool missing, but it
is installed and works from the terminal.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have ExifTool installed from exiftool.org (I have version 13.58, which is
the current version).
2. Download digiKam-9.0.0-Qt6-MacOS-arm64.pkg (I have an Apple Silicon Mac),
and run the installer.
3. Do the initial setup.
4. Download the large model files, and restart DigiKam as instructed.
OBSERVED RESULT
At this point I got an error about exiftool missing or wrong in some way. But
exiftool is installed in /usr/local/bin, and works from the terminal. And, the
DigiKam Preferences > Metadata > ExifTool has a tick for exiftool and can see
exiftool in /usr/local/bin.
EXPECTED RESULT
No error message.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 (25E253)
Qt Version: (supplied with DigiKam)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I didn't know what to put in the "Platform" entry. I am using a Mac and have
not had reason to download a DMG version of macOS.
I didn't enable using ExifTool in the Behavior section of the Metadata
preferences.
I am new to DigiKam (and to kde.org). I searched for this bug here (using
"exiftool digikam") and didn't find it. The "possible duplicates" shows a
problem for Windows with older versions of DigiKam.
