#47053: Settings Theme Configuration not working ---------------------------+------------------- Reporter: rv17070093@… | Owner: jan@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: digikam | ---------------------------+------------------- Comment (by mk@…): Dear Ricardo, Replying to [comment:4 rv17070093@…]:
I'm sorry if my note insinuated in any way mf2k offended me with his reply regarding the need to use ports, and I apologize to all for this misunderstanding.
no worries, I don't think he felt offended, probably didn't even read this. I just wanted to explain a little...
The current path to install and manage this application is too complex and it demands a good understanding of the different processes required.
I perfectly well understand. Maintaing KDE application on MacPorts is still a tricky business, although we've made [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/KDEProblems great progress during the last year] there are still [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/KDEProblems/KDETickets many problems to be solved]. For digikam René has submitted already two suggestions on how to upgrade the application to newer versions 4.3.0 (#45107) and 4.6.0 (#46317), but not even I have tested them up to now, as I am swamped with other things.
Therefore, I will appreciate very much your help in performing options 1 and 2 you suggested.
Please follow the advice given in the [https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling section "2.4. Uninstall" of the MacPorts Guide] for option 2 (which includes 1 of course). Admittedly MacPorts is more a techie thing (for all those console-affine power-users who want to install all kinds of Open Source stuff) and not so much meant for normal users who are much more accustomed to the AppStore.
