Digikam starts, scans the folders etc. There is just the flaw with dbus which is not started in this setup automatically, but which must be started manually. And the Windows drives which are not mounted utomatically, but mst be mounted manually. Let's see what else. The option of "use a different Windows account" is not really a way forward. Rather, I'd prefer the tar-ball to contain a "Portable App". It should not use the standard "AppData" folders to store the basic configuration but should store it in a different folder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
