Warning on startup
SUMMARY
digiKam 8.4 cannot automatically find the bundled exiftool on Windows. It also
cannot be manually configured to use it.
This issue occurs on two different Windows 10 computers that I upgraded from
digiKam 8.3.0 to 8.4.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install digiKam 8.3.0 on Windows 10.
2. Go to Settings --> Configure digiKam, and click on the Metadata section.
3. Note that the bundled exiftool.exe that is included with digiKam is
automatically detected here. Everything looks good!
4. Now, upgrade to digiKam 8.4.0 as normal.
5. Run digiKam. Note the warning on startup, as seen in the attached
screenshot.
6. Go to Settings --> Configure digiKam, and click on the Metadata section.
OBSERVED RESULT
exiftool.exe is not automatically seen by digiKam. Clicking the "Find" button
and manually browsing to the installed exiftool.exe included with digiKam does
not appear to do anything.
EXPECTED RESULT
exiftool.exe should be automatically detected by digiKam, without requiring
user intervention.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4651)
Qt Version: I used the digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-Win64.exe installer.
