I have an impression that properly built AppImage should come with all
necessary libraries included and should not rely on packages installed
in the system.
We also think about AppImages as complete, satisfying ALL their own
dependencies. No disagreement there. I do see them as huge storage
resource hogs, but at the same time papers over individual system
differences IF done right. FWIW, the repo version of digikam also
suffers the can't write to local storage problem, but its supposedly a
known bug in 7.9 that has since been fixed ack the digikam folks, but
their AppImage builds for version 8.2 still don't work /here/.
That leaves the fact that /home is a raid here, but surely I am not the
only one on the planet doing that.
Your camera and EXIF parsing library may have different notion on EXIF
tags format and allowed values. You may discuss whether the errors are
critical with developers or packagers of the applications and to filter
out these errors otherwise.
Throw in that we have no control over the camera maker, in all cases
here they are well known, reputable makers of at least 3 cameras that
have saved pix in that tree, plus probably a thou or more of pix saved
from the net in there, I guess its up to us to configure this stuff so
it works. Is there a tut describing how someplace?
cuda is also named in the errors, and none of its dozen or so variations
is installed. Which one to install?
Thank you Max.
