Description of the bug

I get the following error when executing the AppImage (3.9.5 x64) before entering the application and main screen:

The same happens with version: 3.9.4 - 3.9.0, 3.8.3 - 3.8.0 (have not tried earlier versions.

How to reproduce

1. Install Linux Mint 21.1 x64 version on PC or Image.
2. Download UVtools_linux-x64_v3.9.5.AppImage and make executable.
3. Run AppImage and the error screen appears.

As I read the error message, some files is missing in the AppImage (libgeotiff.so.5).

You have to install the required dependencies, either by run the auto install script or dependency install script or manually.

One of the reasons for my Linux Mint upgrade from 19.3 to 21.1 is to be able to run UVTools.
Previously I ran UVTools in a VM, but that's too cumbersome...

Is it correctly understood that all dependencies are in place when UVTools starts without complaining?
Or is it something that comes along the way when the various functions are put into use?

Thanks for your quick reply ;-)

A major OS upgrade is always welcome 😄

Yes, only one tool won't work. Layer images to animated gif. But I think no one uses that...

Thank you for the help. Have a nice day :)

libgeotiff pulls in 600MB of further dependencies in Fedora, and presumably other distros. This is not great for Silverblue or similar immutable Linux versions, where the intention is to keep the base OS minimal and use containers (eg, flatpak) for applications. I can build a flatpak version of UVTools, or use a Toolbox container, but it's big.

I'm not sure why UVTools needs an image geolocation library, but it would be great if this could be looked at to see if it's necessary.

libgeotiff by default is required due opencv library, but I plan to remove it when upgrading OpenCV version
