Re: unable to run photoqt

Run it from a terminal emulator and post the output?

Re: unable to run photoqt

it functions on devuan 7 with kde, it seems a handy app.

on devuan 6 with mate, there is probably missing some functionality?

it would open up, but there is not possible to open files - the screen would not respond to mouse commands.

like errors

Re: unable to run photoqt

Ok, here is what I got in cli when trying to run photoqt

shows missing module:  PQMainWindow.qml::::24: qrc:/src/qml/PQMainWindow.qml:24:1: module "QtQuick.Window" is not installed

so, I installed: qml6-module-qtquick-window/stable 6.8.2+dfsg-7 amd64

rerun photoqt:
shows missing module: PQToolTip.qml::::24: qrc:/src/qml/elements/PQToolTip.qml:24:1: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed

so I installed:
qml6-module-qtquick-controls/stable 6.8.2+dfsg-7 amd64
  Qt 6 Quick Controls QML module

now shows missing module: PQMultiEffect.qml::::23: qrc:/src/qml/elements/PQMultiEffect.qml:23:1: module "QtQuick.Effects" is not installed

so I installed:
qml6-module-qtquick-effects/stable 6.8.2+dfsg-7 amd64
  Qt 6 Quick Effects QML module

************************************
now it appears to work.

  libqt6printsupport6

since i have installed yt-dlp manually had installed without recommends, this could have been the cause for a non-functional install.

sudo apt install qml6-module-qtquick-effects photoqt --no-install-recommends

Re: unable to run photoqt

I don't see those 3 modules in the dependencies for this package:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/pack … 4.8.1+ds-1

So, package is not configured correctly? missing dependencies.
