Mewto7 commented 4 months ago

Bug Description I downloaded the Windows version, and it won't start. I simply appear to get an error messege. Steps to reproduce: I expect the program to open normally as it once did. Instead, I see this:

21:49:34.224 [INFO] czkawka_core::common: Czkawka version: 6.1.0, was compiled with release mode

(czkawka_gui.exe:2560): Gdk-WARNING **: 21:49:34.467: gdk_gl_context_set_required_version - GL context versions less than 3.2 are not supported.

Terminal output (optional): 21:49:34.224 [INFO] czkawka_core::common: Czkawka version: 6.1.0, was compiled with release mode

I managed to get it to run by using the second method listed here

https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/blob/master/czkawka_gui/README.md#windows

It appears to be using something called msys2 and I have no idea how this works. But it is certainly running. The only issue I came across is that I can select files that are in the reference folder. I had to run the command twice to get it to install everything, as it timed out the first time and took about ten minutes later. I am going to leave the details here in case someone else is having a similar issue.

Edit: Version 7.0 solves the issue with the reference selection.

Edit 2: I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/opengl/comments/183uk25/im_a_moron_who_doesnt_understand_software_what/kar56kq/

It pointed me to this software: https://fdossena.com/?p=mesa/index.frag

It has something called opengl32.dll that when placed in the same folder as Krokiet.exe, makes it run fine with the release version. The GUI is a little blurry but works perfectly with over 1600 files. I tried with Czkawka and that one didn't work though.

Edit: Dual booted Lubuntu. Works perfectly.

I don't even get an error message, nothing happens at all when I try to run it.

Or am I maybe missing something in how to use it? Do I need something more than what's in windows_czkawka_gui_gtk_410.zip?
