Bug ID: 435897
Summary: Package fcitx support for digikam's appimage
Product: digikam
Version: 7.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability-i18n
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
Target Milestone: ---
fcitx is a widely used helper application to enable non-English character
input. It's basically a must-have for Linux users in Asian regions like
China/Japan/Korea/India.
At this moment, digikam from a distro's official repo can use fcitx without
issue, but it doesn't work inside our official appimages. A small Qt plugin
must be packaged in order to utilize the system's input source.
Either of the following plugins would work:
fcitx-qt5 (old fcitx)
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx-qt5
OR
fcitx5-qt (new fcitx)
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5-qt
We've figured it out in Krita's appimage packaging:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422465
(See Comment 4 by Weng Xuetian and Halla's commits in Comment 6, 7, 12)
It would be nice to have fcitx support packaged in digikam's appimages,
otherwise people in the fore-mentioned regions must use Copy-Paste to input
their native language.
Thank you for your time!
