Summary: When locales not set, crash occurs when opening
"Settings -> Configure digikam"
Product: digikam
Version: 8.0.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-ExifTool
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org

SUMMARY
When using exiftool, and locales are not set, the output from exiftool messes
up(?) the parsing from the tool, and digikam crashes when opening the "Settings
_ Configure digikam"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable the exiftool
2. If the locales are not properly set. It gives the output like this:
krikar@desktop:~$ exiftool
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_ADDRESS = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_NAME = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_PAPER = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_TIME = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LC_NUMERIC = "sv_SE.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_SE.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Syntax: exiftool [OPTIONS] FILE

3. Open "Settings -> Configure digikam"
OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam crashes while opening the dialog:
