--- Comment #52 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- The first scan can be long, this depend of collection size and number of items to populate in database. In my case, i setup a small collection to test (less than images). I recommend to do the same in first. For the error reported previously, i insist : it's abnormal to see mysql_install_db using conf file from user space instead DK bundle one (from /opt/digikam/...). At init you must to see someting like this on the console : digikam.databaseserver: Database initializer: "/opt/digikam/lib/mariadb/bin/mysql_install_db" ("--datadir=/Users/gilles/Pictures/.mysql.digikam/db_data", "--defaults-file=/opt/digikam/Applications/KF5/digikam.app/Contents/Resources//digikam/database/mysql-global.conf") This line come from my debug trace. Look the path to mysql-global.conf. It come from /opt/digikam/..., not my user space (/Users/gilles/...). This is mandatory as the shell script from mysql/mariadb is bugous and do not accept space in path). After that, creating mysql server instance in memory, using the binary file mysqld which is not a sheel script, can use a path with space. From my debug trace : digikam.databaseserver: Database server: "/opt/digikam/lib/mariadb/bin/mysqld" ("--defaults-file=/Users/gilles/Library/Application Support/digikam/digikam/mysql.conf", "--datadir=/Users/gilles/Pictures/.mysql.digikam/db_data", "--socket=/Users/gilles/Library/Application Support/digikam/digikam/db_misc/mysql.socket") This one use conf file from user space, as the temporary socket file used to communicate with the internal server from DK, through localhost.
