--- Comment #10 from [email protected] ---
Hello all,

I am bumping this 10-month-old report because it is now a critical issue for
users with new 2025 hardware.

Hardware: Intel Core Ultra 5 235 (with integrated Intel Arc GPU + Intel AI
Boost NPU)
Software: digiKam 8.8.0 on Windows 11

I can confirm that the lack of an OpenVINO backend (as requested in this bug)
results in a complete failure of AI hardware acceleration on this new hardware.

My Symptom: The "Test GPU AI Compatibility" fails with the error: Erreur :
OpenCL est indisponible sur votre système.

My Diagnostic: The "Help -> Components Information..." log confirms this:
OpenCV Configuration: OpenCL availability: No

This is likely because digiKam (lacking OpenVINO) falls back to the generic
OpenCL backend (as mentioned in Comment #1), which fails to initialize on the
new Intel Arc drivers.

As confirmed by Maik in Comment #6, the Windows build is still compiled with
default OpenCV features. This bug report is the correct place to request that
OpenVINO support be compiled in, as it is the official and only correct way to
support the NPU and GPU on Intel Core Ultra processors.

This is no longer a "feature request" but a bug preventing new, mainstream
hardware from working as expected.

Thank you for looking into this.
