--- Comment #43 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- Hi all, A first PKG version compiled under BigSur of digiKam 7.2.0 beta2 will be available in one hour at usual place: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Currently i recompile digiKam code. I tried a pre version this morning and it start and run without problem. Of course, as usual under MacOS : 1/ to install a PKG from developers not signed in Apple, you need to tune installer right in MacOS control panel. For the question about to register developers on Apple infrastructure, i respond : I never paid 99 USD per year for an open source project. Apple know really the open source world which try to support this operating system, and the time passed to hack, develop, and support Mac platform ? For me it me be the opposite: Apple must paid open source developer for that... 2/ When digiKam start, BigSur ask to front user if you want to give access to your photo library (if you setup one root digiKam collection at this place). Of course, it save to respond yes. I recommend to place database in another place of course. 3/ This PKG version for BigSur is compiled (temporally) with QtWebKit. It's an older version of the Qt Web browser interface based on WebKit (Safari like browser). QtWebKit is outdated, and new QtWebEngine component must be used instead. This last one is a switch to Chromium web Browser and include all recent security fixes. This is not the case of QtWebKit. So take a care when you try to share items on the cloud. The Qt web browser component is used for that. For the rest to show GoogleMaps in geolocation view, i think it safe to use. I will report the dysfunction on Macports project to compile QtWebEngine under BigSur. I'm suprised to not see a UPSTREAM report, as all the Qt5 components compile fine (else digiKam will not here). You must know that QtWebEngine is just a giant part to compile. It take some hours with the compiler... 4/ Face Engine data file models downloading: At startup, digiKam ask to download from digikam.org web site extra large files to run face detection and recognition. It's new to 7.2.0, as these files was included in digiKam installer before. We separate these files now as the bundles become heavy more and more. There is an error while downloading file as digiKam report the url as not secure. Files are not processed and digiKam just said that new download will run at next startup... but it fail too. It's a bug that we need to fix. So it will be clear that Face workflow will not work yet. Be patient please, we will solve one problem step y step... Voilà, for the rest, all feedback will help to finalize this port under MacOS. Remember that 2 PKG version will be available to download: one with debug symbols, one other without debug symbol. The first one is larger to be able to catch a debugger back-trace if digiKam crash. Of course you must install Apple XCode for that.
