SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:

Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Linux Fedora 42 - Cinnamon Xorg
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
8.7 ran smoothly.
Even an initial start with 8.8. with a new database and new configurations
results in a crash.
During the initial start, the wizard begins the setup, and the subsequent start
of DigiKam results in a segmentation fault.
Unfortunately, downgrading to 8.7 is no longer possible due to the updated
dependencies.
As described, the crash only occurs in an Xorg environment. It works in an
Wayland environment.
DigiKam crashes under Gnome Classic (Xorg) and Cinnamon.
It works under Plasma, Gnome Classic (Wayland), and Cinnamon Wayland
(Experimental).
The segmentation fault also occurs with a current AppImage from the digiKam
website.
I still need to test whether the AppImage works under Wayland. I will provide
the result later.
