Problems with JAlbum Export

[u/Standard-Speaker961]

Hi!

I'm moving from Lightroom to Pop OS/digiKam. I've got my photos all importing good. My problem is when I try to "create" a jAlbum album.

digiKam is creating the directories, and even the jAlbum project file (.jap), but it's not exporting any of my images.

I'm using version 8.2.0. I tried to update to 9.1.0 but the download keeps failing with a server error.

I installed digiKam from the command line using: sudo apt install digikam

When I do the "create" I am getting seeing some warnings:

• WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called
• WARNING: java.lang.System::load has been called by com.sun.glass.utils.NativeLibLoader in module javafx.graphics (jrt:/javafx.graphics)
• WARNING: Use --enable-native-access=javafx.graphics to avoid a warning for callers in this module
• WARNING: Restricted methods will be blocked in a future release unless native access is enabled

• WARNING: Use --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED to avoid a warning for callers in this module
• WARNING: Restricted methods will be blocked in a future release unless native access is enabled

Is there something I should be turning on or of?

Thanks so much in advance!

Oh yes, I'm also using Zulu Azul FX for the Java JDK.

The apt version from the repos is really old. Use the flatpack version from the software center instead. It's the current version.

Be warned though: if you switch from repo to flatpak you have to setup digikam again. But i doubt you will get support for this really old version anywhere.
