digikam 5.6 needs additional rpms (no surprise, of course) but I am not in the mood to go that way.
Solution: I found a solution. I have a laptop still running v13.2. I copied the .iso to the laptop and used the k3b there. The DVD appears to run fine on v42.2. I plan to wait a little while before actually doing the install so that the bugs in v42.3 are identified and patched. The pictures can wait.
Alternative solution: you can grab the Appimage version of Digikam 5.6 here: https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/ Click the i386 or x86-64.appimage link down near the bottom. Save it anywhere in the relevant user's home directory, e.g. /bin and simply make it executable. When you click/double-click to run it the first time, it may prompt you whether you want to install an entry for it in your menu. The application runs independently with all dependencies included in the download. I've only done this with one application so far so I haven't even looked up how to do a full uninstall including any created config files, but presumably there is some standardization to only place files in a limited set of common places in a user's home directory. Perhaps somebody else knows more about this? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
