Congratulations! I’ve been using digikam for quite a while on Linux Mint.

I’ve noticed that the new 8.8.0 flatpak does not run at all (even with a fresh install).

I get the following errors if I try in a terminal

flatpak run org.kde.digikam
kf.i18n: KCatalog being used without a Q*Application instance. Some translations won’t work
qt.gui.icc: fromIccProfile: failed size sanity 2
Gtk-Message: 18:06:58.233: Failed to load module “xapp-gtk3-module”
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket

If anybody could shine some light on this, I would be grateful.
