Bug ID: 412650
Summary: Can't uninstall and reinstall digikam properly on
macOS - preferences remain, no first run dialog
Product: digikam
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: macOS Disk Images
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: digikam...@iinet.net.au
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I am using digikam on a Mac with a mysql database on MariaDB on a Synology NAS.
I am trying to fully install and reinstall digikam on my MacBook to allow me to
change the router IP and some other settings. I tried to fully uninstall
digikam by deleting all of the following:
\opt\digikam\...
\Username\Library\Application Support\digikam\
\Applications\digikam\
I emptied the trash and rebooted.
The fresh installation does not show the first run dialog to set up digikam -
rather it continues to look for the database in the previous location. It
eventually generates an error message that it cannot connect to the database.
If you leave it there it hangs. If you click ok, it generates the error message
'Failed to open the database. If you then click ok it shows the splash screen
and hangs at 'Checking iCC repository...'
I tried to upgrade digikam from 5.9 to 6.3. At the same time I have changed
router which has a default different IP range.
I will try and alter my router back to the IP range of the other router but I
would still like to be able to fully uninstall digikam if possible.
After a bad experience with Apple Photos and paying $$ for Adobe Lightroom I
love digikam. Thanks for all the hard work everyone.
Best Regards
M
