I started digikam, got a 'could not create directory' error when I manually typed: /home/david/mmedia/digikam into the startup config window as the location for the digikam albums. I was then able to use the file-browser to create the directory from the startup dialog by clicking 'new folder'. Once created, I received an error that digikam was sorry, but it could not restart??: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-cannnot-restart.jpg When the digikam app opened - there were virtually NO menus, just 'Settings' and 'Help': http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-empty.jpg I then added an album (see above) the went to import files: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-import.jpg NOTE: The thumbnail creation of the alpha-enabled png files you were concerned about was WORKING. The files in the img directory were: 18:10 valkyrie:~/Documents/img> l1 CosmosRedXen.jpg digikam3.db earth-afloat_1440x900.jpg globe-colored.png (alpha channel enabled png) It looked like the import was working, but when I chose 'download all' nothing appeared in the viewer window?? (see 1st screenshot again) Nothing, just empty. No .jpg or .png files. I then decided to try and import the whole directory, so I chose import folder and just left the dialog alone (it was already reading /home/david/Documents/img in the top bar due to the previous file import. When I said OK, I got the following error: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-albums.jpg Well then I decided to open the import dialog and check whether there was any problem with the alpha-enabled png, so I opened the import window and clicked on the properties of the png file -- all good: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-alpha.jpg I then tried to re-import the images thinking that something might not have worked right the first time - I could have missed a button, etc... Nope, when I tried to import again, I got the normal 'You want to overwrite' dialog: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-invisible.jpg So then I decided to cross check with gwenview to see if there was something tdelibs/tdebase related that prevented images from displaying - gwenview worked fine: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-gwenview-test.jpg Last but not least, I decided to check 'Help' for digikam to make sure the documents were in the right place (I built without specifying any location, so the default was used) - nope NO help documentation: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/digikam-no-help.jpg I don't know what is up with digikam -- it's broke, but I don't think it has anything to do with the color_type patches. It doesn't show any image (jpg or png). Further, thumbnail generation for alpha-enabled png images works (see screenshots) Lastly, there are NO menu entries for digikam after install. Nothing. I had to start digikam from the command line. WTF?? -- wait!! The build for digikam is broken -- 1/2 of the digikam install ended up in /share That's RIGHT! not ${PREFIX}/share, just /share off the root of the filesystem?? 18:36 valkyrie:~/Documents> l /share total 36 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Apr 19 17:23 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 applications drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 apps drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 icons drwxr-xr-x 51 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 locale drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 man drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 services drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 servicetypes 18:39 valkyrie:~/Documents> l /share/applications/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 kde 18:39 valkyrie:~/Documents> l /share/applications/kde/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 19 13:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3067 Mar 11 12:14 digikam.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3386 Feb 8 17:49 showfoto.desktop Full file list for digikam install (NOTE the last 1/2 of the list) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/err/digikam/digikam-file.txt I think that is probably the problem - where could that problem be?? That smells like something a digikam/admin/acinclude.m4.in patch broke. Can somebody confirm and suggest a fix. My build was with: CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -fpermissive" \ ./configure --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \ --localstatedir=/var so that wasn't something I did....
